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.

It is inevitable that everyone will leave this world one day. A cardiac arrest has taken the life of former ICC elite umpire Asad Rauf at the age of 66. I observed him supervising many international matches as an ICC panel umpire. I am saddened by the news. I offer my deepest condolences to the family members of the deceased. I pray that the departed soul rests in peace.
His struggle for livelihood has been documented in a video I watched recently; he used to run a very small shop in Lahore, the local market.
