English Umpire, Mark Benson has revealed he withdrew after the first day of the second Test between Australia and West Indies because of ill health.
There had been speculation that he walked out because he was unhappy with the new umpire review system.
Benson was reported to be furious that a not out decision he gave for a caught behind against Shivnarine Chanderpaul, was overruled by the third umpire.
However, in a statement Benson denied this and added he had not quit his job.
