Soon after a group of umpires moved to the court for not being allowed to re-appear for the Board of Control for Cricket in India's umpires' examination, the BCCI has offered one final opportunity to all the candidates who were denied re-examination between 2011 and 2015 to clear the Level 2 exam. The examination will be conducted on August 5 in Bengaluru.
“BCCI has decided to provide one final opportunity to all such candidates (irrespective of age and previous attempts), who were unsuccessful in the Umpires Level – 2 Theory, as well as Practical examinations, conducted between 2011 and 2015,” BCCI acting secretary Amitabh Choudhary stated in a letter addressed to all its affiliates.
“A preparatory course will be conducted from 1st to 4th August 2018 and the theory examinations will be conducted on 5th August at KSCA/ NCA Bangalore. The syllabus will be Laws of Cricket (2017 Code) and BCCI Playing Conditions (2017-18), and the question paper will be from the above syllabus.”

Choudhary has also stated in the email, accessed by Sportstar , that the candidates who will clear the exam, along with those who clear the theory test conducted on June 17, “would be eligible to attend the Umpires Level – 2 Practical Examination which will be conducted during the last week of August 2018”.
Earlier this month, K. Bapu Chaitanya, an umpire from Andhra Pradesh, had filed a writ petition in the Hyderabad High Court, challenging the BCCI's refusal to let 38 umpires, including himself, re-appear for the Level 2 test. While the court didn't stay the scheduled BCCI exam in June, it had asked for a BCCI response ahead of a hearing scheduled for next week.
