The International Cricket Council (ICC) umpire Richard Kettleborough, who had a tough time in Bangladesh on the fourth day of the Test match could resume his duty on the last day.

The 49-year-old Kettleborough had fallen ill on the fourth morning and had to return to the dressing room immediately after officiating in the few overs. "The excessive heat took a toll on him and had to be withdrawn", one of the sources said.

His on field duty was taken over by the third umpire Joel Wilson and the reserve umpire Masudur Rahman had to move to the TV room.

"Wilson officiated from both ends on the fourth day. Joel Wilson's onfield involvement was only temporary, so may well be only a scorecard footnote.

Kettleborough was fine on the fifth morning and officiated in the Test the entire day". 

Both Kettleborough and Wilson will swap their roles in the second Test beginning in Dhaka on May 23.
