September 04, 2006 15:44 IST

Indian off-spinner Harbhajan Singh will again have to contend with match referee Chris Broad, who found his action suspect during the 2004 tour of Bangladesh.

The former England batsman will officiate during the Malaysian tri-series, which pits India against world champions Australia and the West Indies, from September 12 to 24.

Englishman Mark Benson, Asad Rauf of Pakistan and Tony Hill of New Zealand are the umpires for the series; the trio will alternate between on-field and third umpire duties.

South Africa will host Zimbabwe for a three-match one-day series from September 15 to 20 and Sri Lankan Roshan Mahanama will preside over it as match referee.

Australian Daryl Harper will be the ICC Elite Panel umpire for the series.
