A historic first for cricket! Women's T20 World Cup to have all-female panel of match officials

The panel has 13 members, including 3 match referees and 10 umpires.

In a first for cricket, the ICC on Friday named an all-female panel of match officials, including the Indian trio of GS Lakshmi, Vrinda Rathi and Janani Narayanan, for the upcoming Women's T20 World Cup in South Africa.

Three match referees and 10 umpires make up the 13-woman team. It's a landmark moment for the ICC and its ambition of advancing the involvement and visibility of women in cricket.

India's Rathi and Janani, who earlier this month became the first female umpires to officiate in the Ranji Trophy, will be umpiring at a T20 World Cup for the first time.
