Match Officials in T20 World Cup 2024 Opener

Bangladeshi umpire Shahid Saikat is set to become the first official from his country to officiate at an ICC Men's T20 World Cup when he stands in the tournament opener between USA and Canada on June 1.

Saikat, 47, officiated five matches at last year's ICC Men's Cricket World Cup and has also served on the panel at two ICC Women's Cricket World Cups and the ICC Women's T20 World Cup 2018.

The pioneering official will be joined on the opening night by Richard Illingworth, who won the David Shepherd Trophy for ICC Umpire of the Year for the third time in 2023 and officiated the ICC Men's Cricket World Cup Final between India and Australia last year.

Richie Richardson will serve as the match referee in Dallas, with Sam Nogajski as the TV umpire and Langton Rusere as the fourth umpire.

Nogajski is one of five umpires making their senior men's tournament debut in June, with Rashid Riaz set to make his first appearance in the second match of the tournament, between Papua New Guinea and West Indies in Guyana.
