The ICC today announced details of the umpire and match referee appointments for the group stage of the upcoming ICC World Twenty20 in England, which will take place from 5 to 21 June.
The match referees’ responsibilities throughout the tournament, including men’s and women’s matches to be staged from 11 to 16 June in Taunton, will be shared between Ranjan Madugalle, Chris Broad and Alan Hurst of the Emirates Elite Panel of ICC Match Referees.
Madugalle, who has overseen 18 T20Is, was also one of the three match referees in the inaugural tournament in South Africa two years ago along with Broad who has led the playing control team in 26 T20Is. For Hurst, who has refereed two T20Is, it will be his first ICC World Twenty20 tournament.
The on-field responsibilities will be shared by all the 12 umpires from the Emirates Elite Panel of ICC Umpires, namely: Mark Benson, Billy Bowden, Aleem Dar, Steve Davis, Asoka de Silva, Billy Doctrove, Ian Gould, Daryl Harper, Tony Hill, Rudi Koertzen, Asad Rauf and Simon Taufel.
The 12 elite panel umpires will be joined by Marais Erasmus, Nigel Llong, Amish Saheba and Rod Tucker of the Emirates International Panel of ICC Umpires.
Meanwhile, appointments have also been made for the men’s and women’s warm-up matches for the ICC World Twenty20. The men’s warm-up matches will be staged from 1 to 3 June and will be played at Lord’s, The Oval and Trent Bridge while the women’s matches will be held on 8 and 9 June at Kings College and Taunton Vale. None of these matches will carry official Twenty20 International status.
