Last week, Gough went outside the tournament\u2019s bio-bubble in his hotel without permission and as a result South African umpire Marais Erasmus took his place during the game between India and New Zealand in Dubai this past Sunday.<\/p>\n

An ICC spokesperson said: "The Bio-Security Advisory Committee has instructed Umpire Michael Gough to isolate for six days due to a breach of the event bio-security protocols."<\/p>\n

And in a statement on Wednesday the ICC added: "The ICC today confirmed that umpire Michael Gough will not be appointed to any further matches during the ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2021 following a breach of the bio-security protocols.<\/p>\n

"The ICC recognises the extended periods he has spent in bio-secure conditions over the past two years and will continue to support the wellbeing of all match officials operating in this environment."<\/p>\n

Gough was set to officiate the match between Sri Lanka and West Indies in Abu Dhabi on November 4.<\/p>\n
