Rohan pandit also in fray i think so as he is good umpire and might get nod compared to others ( india hosting world cup )

Thanks for the information..Only one change compare to last year officials in wpl 2026..Saiyed khalid is being replaced by Tony ematty

I am also surprised with the omission of Anna harris.

Good to see 3 indian women umpires selected for this worldcup.. and i believe Gayatri will be the one for the future..she is an excellent umpire what i observed in last wo years.

Yes you are right..But what about Rashid riaz? Is he also be appointed for womens world cup .i presumed so. If it happens then we must understand that he is also a part of upcoming emerging panel.

What about female umpires ? Who you think will involve in this womens world cup (apart from nine umpires already in emerging panel of icc)

Very intersting discussion i must say.. Few points i want to add also.

I am completely agree about the female appointments in big tournament for mens T20 worldcup .Few other names who i feel have great potential to perform like williams(WI) Lauren(SA) and vrinda(IND) also there .

I can predict the emerging umpires from internal panel of umpires from the appointments from ICC side or the performance wise like Rashid (PAK) , Rehman(Bang) ,Shaun haig(NZ), Ahmed(Afg), Black(Ire), Rohan(Ind) & Leise(WI)

ICC can choose previous emerging panel umpire also like Gregory(WI) and other two langton (WI) and Ruchira(SL)

Good to see jayaraman Madan gopal umpiring in test between SA vs Zim test..I feel he will be up there to enter in elite panel if he continues to perform the way he is doing from last 2 years.
