India's Javagal Srinath, along with Jeff Crowe and Brian Aldridge, was on Thursday appointed as match referee for the Under-19 World Cup 2010, to be held from January 15-30 in New Zealand.
The former players argued over the abandonment of the fifth ODI.
The India-Sri Lanka Test series is a golden opportunity for him, says Srinath.
Pakistan and New Zealand will play the second semi-final of the Champions Trophy on Saturday.
Srinath will officiate in the September 23 match between Pakistan and West Indies.
57 Indian match referees will take part in the seminar organised by the BCCI.
I have been quoted out of context by the contents taken out of a television discussion, clarified Srinath.
Amid a thick security cover, both teams arrived for the Test to be held from Feb 14-18.
