Pakistani Umpire Asad Rauf, the former ICC elite umpire who officiated in 170 international matches across 13 years, passed away due to cardiac arrest in Lahore today. He was 66. May his soul Rest In Peace.
A few months back I had read that he had become a shop owner in Lahore and had completely left cricket.

This is really sad news for the whole cricketing world as Asad Rauf was a well-renowned umpire and he was an umpire for a very long time.
I don't know why he left Cricket as you said but whatever it is I really hope his family is doing fine in these challenging times.
His void will never be filled by anyone as he was a legend in the umpiring world.
