Sadly, after a valiant battle with cancer, Shepherd passed away at the age of 68. Renowned for his exceptional skills as an international umpire, Shepherd officiated in an impressive total of 172 One Day Internationals (ODIs), including three consecutive World Cup Finals. Additionally, he presided over 92 tests between the years 1983 and 2005. The image captures a significant moment in cricket history as it showcases David Shepherd proudly donning the first black coat ever worn by an umpire in two centuries of cricket. This groundbreaking change was implemented ahead of the World Cup tournament set to commence in India, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka in February 1996. The decision to adopt black as a neutral color for day/night matches was made due to its compatibility with colored player clothing and white balls. Standing tall at six feet and weighing sixteen stone (224 pounds), Shepherd exudes confidence while displaying the new coat at Lords Cricket Ground on February 7th, 1996. This photograph serves as a lasting testament to David Shepherd's immense contributions to cricket and his role as one of England's esteemed members on the National Grid Panel of Umpires.
