Later, following the intervention of DDCA president Rohan Jaitley, Tiwari was moved to Jhajhar since no bed was available in the Capital. He was a part of the DDCA’s four-member Umpire and Scoring Committee.
A well-known name in Capital’s cricket circles for over three decades, Tiwari covered four Tests, five One-Day Internationals, over 60 Ranji Trophy matches and over 50 Indian Premier League fixtures. He also officiated as an umpire in local cricket since 1985.
