Steve Bucknor, who stepped down as International Cricket Council's Elite Panel umpire on Sunday, urged cricket's governing body to take the right of video referrals away from players and hand them to umpires.

"It is my opinion that it is the umpires on the field, they're the ones who should be asking these questions," said the 62-year-old who quit umpiring after the end of the third Test between Australia and South Africa in Cape Town.
