T20 World Cup Famous Referees

T20 World Cup Famous Referees:

This year’s World T20 Cup will be held from October 16 in Australia. It has been announced that the International Cricket Council will appoint a referee to take charge during the cricket tournament.

The referee of the match is the official in charge of supervising professional cricket matches. Umpires for Test matches and One Day Internationals are appointed by the International Cricket Council (ICC). Most matches below the international level do not have a referee.

The match referee remains off the field of play throughout the actual playing of the game and watches the proceedings from the spectator area. The referee does not make any decisions that are relevant to the game or the outcome of the game; such decisions are the sole responsibility of the appointed arbitrators. It is the responsibility of the match referee to ensure that the ICC Code of Cricket is followed during play, adjudicate any breaches of the Code, and award penalties for any breaches.
