NZvENG: Fourth Umpire In T20I Was Once A Porn Star

Among a team of umpires for the third T20I between New Zealand and England, was a former porn star who is also part of it. Identified as Garth Stirrat, he was the fourth umpire for the match which took place on November 5 at Nelson.

According to British tabloid 'The Sun', Stirrat featured in a graphic spread in a magazine. He also had a different name 'Steve Parnell' which he used while filming. 

This information was not new to the New Zealand players as they knew about his history. Stirrat, had a good professional career as he was the Chief Executive of the New Zealand Professional Golfers' Association 10 years ago but when his past identity came out in the open, he was fired immediately.

Since then, he wanted to prove himself and built a successful career as a cricket umpire. He then began being part of women's international cricket matches.

Coming back to the match, New Zealand won by 14 runs.
