Al-Barkaar MMI (Kurla) and Swami Vivekanand International School (Kandivli), currently facing each other in the Harris Shield final at Bombay Gymkhana, can be confident that there won't be any blunders as far as decision-making from umpires are concerned. The match is officiated by veteran umpire Suresh Shastri with Nikhil Patil being the other official. Shastri became the first Indian umpire in 2013 to officiate in 100 first-class matches. He has also stood in 19 ODIs and two Test matches. The left-arm spinner, who represented Rajasthan in domestic cricket, but played his school and club cricket on the maidans of Mumbai in the 1970s, was happy to see the talent emerging through tournaments like Harris and Giles.
