Is the batsman out if the ball is caught in the pocket of the umpire?


Is the batsman out if the ball is caught in the pocket of the umpire?

No. catches can be made after the deflection off the non-striker, an umpire, or another fielder as long as the ball has not touched a fielder’s helmet. If the ball lodges in an umpire’s clothing or in the clothing or equipment of either batsman, ‘dead ball’ is called.
