Bird, who stood in 66 Test matches, 69 One-Day Internationals and three World Cup finals, was regarded as one of the most respected umpires in the game. Before taking up umpiring, he played as a batsman for Yorkshire in county cricket.

The Yorkshire County Cricket Club announced his death on Monday, saying he leaves behind “a legacy of sportsmanship, humility and joy.” The club added that Bird had fans across the world and would always hold a place in Yorkshire’s history.
