Langton Rusere named among ICC Women’s T20 World Cup 2020 umpires

Zimbabwean umpire Langton Rusere has been named among the umpires for the group stage of the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup 2020.

The list of match officials includes a record six women. GS Lakshmi is set to become the first woman match referee at a global ICC event, with Lauren Agenbag, Kim Cotton, Claire Polosak, Sue Redfern and Jacqueline Williams the women umpires named for the eight-team competition.

Rusere stood in the final of the previous Women’s T20 final in the Carribean and this is another endorsement of the Zimbabwean whose profile has been growing considerably.

Adrian Griffith, ICC Senior Manager, Umpires and Referees:

We appoint the best match officials for an event and are pleased we have the right mix. I wish all match officials at the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup the very best and am confident we will have smooth adjudication of the matches.
