While Twenty20 formats such as the IPL and the ICC World Twenty20 Championships have called for more pulsating batting from the batsmen, Harper feels that the safety of the umpires is at the present time being seriously compromised.
Harper has called for the use of baseball helmets to protect the umpires citing the examples of Sanath Jayasuriya and Matthew Hayden as some of the hardest hitters of the ball who can cause more serious injuries.
