The ICC Elite Panel: Ten umpires and three match referees will officiate the ninth edition of the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup 2024 hosted by Bangladesh in the UAE from October 3 to 20, the International Cricket Council announced on Tuesday.

The experienced group of umpires comprises seasoned officials, including Claire Polosak, who will be umpiring in her fifth ICC Women’s T20 World Cup while Kim Cotton and Jacqueline Williams will each be umpiring in their fourth after taking charge of the final in Cape Town between hosts South Africa and eventual champions, Australia, last February.

Sue Redfern, who was the TV umpire for that final, is also back for her fourth appearance in the tournament. At the other end of the spectrum, Sarah Dambanevana of Zimbabwe will make her debut appearance.
