#3 Richard Kettleborough
The English international cricketer made his debut in the game as a left-handed top order batsman and an occasional right-arm medium pace bowler. He played with success for Yorkshire and Middlesex during the initial years and eventually was added to the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) list of umpires in 2006.
Continuing to officiate matches, Richard made his international umpiring debut in the Twenty20 between England and Australia at Old Trafford in 2009.
Jumping leaps and bounds from there he earned his first World Cup panelist title when he got selected for 2011 World Cup hosted in India and subsequently gained promotion to the Elite Panel of ICC in the same year, in view of his accurate decisive powers.
He is, currently the youngest umpire serving on that panel - at 43 - and has three Umpire of the Year trophies under his belt for the years 2013, 2014 & 2015. These trophies, that he managed to win after just two years of being promoted to the ICC Elite Panel, say loads about his work and excellence.
