Reuben was active in Indian cricket as a match official. The role of an umpire in Indian first-class cricket during this period involved standing in matches organised under the BCCI's domestic structure, including zonal and national tournaments such as the Ranji Trophy and the Duleep Trophy.
Reuben officiated in first-class matches in India. Indian umpires of his era were typically appointed by their state cricket associations and the BCCI's panel system, travelling across the country to stand in inter-state and inter-zonal fixtures.
Umpires such as Reuben formed part of the administrative and on-field backbone of Indian domestic cricket through the post-Independence decades, when the Ranji Trophy and other tournaments grew in stature and competitive depth. Their work contributed to the standardisation and continuity of first-class cricket in India.
