Unfazed by the happenings after the recent Sydney [ Images ] Test between India [ Images ] and Australia [ Images ], West Indian umpire Steve Bucknor [ Images ] is ready to extend his contract with the International Cricket Council [ Images ] for another year.

"If I am asked to go on for another year, I would accept, but not beyond," Bucknor said.

"I am scheduled to go to Bangladesh, where they will play South Africa [ Images ], in another four weeks. I am in reasonably good physical condition," Bucknor was quoted as saying in a Caribbean paper.

• India Bucknored!

"I think I am seeing reasonably well, so I will go on until I think it is necessary. I can't stop anybody's opinion," he added.

But the veteran of more than 100 Tests said he would not continue beyond a year.

"I would not wish to go on beyond another year."

After several umpiring glitches ICC [ Images ] replaced Bucknor with Billy Bowden of New Zealand [ Images ] for the Perth Test.
