The International Cricket Council (ICC) has announced a historic all-female panel of match officials for the upcoming Women's T20 World Cup, scheduled from October 3 to 20 in the United Arab Emirates. Key matches will feature umpires Eloise Sheridan from Australia and Lauren Agenbag from South Africa officiating the high-profile India vs Pakistan match on October 6, with Jacqueline Williams serving as the TV umpire. The tournament kicks off with a match between Bangladesh and Scotland, officiated by Claire Polosak and Agenbag. Indian officials GS Lakshmi and Vrinda Rathi are part of the 13-member officiating team, which includes ten umpires and three match referees. The tournament was relocated from Bangladesh to the UAE due to political unrest, with matches set to be held in Dubai and Sharjah. Umpires for the semifinals and final will be announced closer to those dates.
