Sydney, Mar 20 After winning back his position in the ICC Elite Panel of Umpires, Darrell Hair has made it clear that his umpiring attitude will not change drastically but admitted that he has been learning a few things to improve his communication.

Hair said he spent "stressful" days since his dumping from the panel in November 2006.

"Well it caused me a lot of stress, I suppose it caused a lot of people some stress along the way. The laws now have been changed to take those decisions out of the hands of the umpires and I fully support the way that that's going to happen in future.

"So, it's time to move on," Hair told Sydney radio 2KY, the Daily Telegraph reported.

Hair said his new innings would focus on better communication on field.

"Every day in life you like to pick up something and move forward, so I won't say my whole attitude to umpiring has changed but I think I have picked up a few things that are going to be very helpful to me in the future.

"Probably just having a broader understanding of what everybody else is thinking and the old communication issue of making sure that what you say and what you want is understood by the other people," Hair said.

The controversial Australian, who officiated in ICC Associate matches after being ousted from the elite panel, said he would look to get more involved in on-field proceedings after resuming his job. (Agencies)
