T20 World Cup 2024: Saikat named in umpires’ list for Super 8s

Bangladesh's Sharfuddoula Ibne Shahid Saikat was listed in the list of umpires who will be officiating in the Super 8s matches of the ICC Twenty20 World Cup in the West Indies.

All the officials have been announced for the upcoming Super 8s stage. USA, in their first T20 World Cup appearance, will kickstart the Super Eight stage against South Africa on Wednesday at 8.30pm (Bangladesh Time).

Sharfuddoula had already officiated the group stage matches. 

He has earlier officiated in many ICC events which include the ICC Women's World Cups in 2017 and 2021, the ICC Men's Cricket World Cup 2023 and the ICC Women's T20 World Cup 2018. 

Chris Gaffaney and Richard Kettleborough will be the on-field umpires for the USA's historic first-ever knockout match at an ICC Men's T20 World Cup.

They will officiate the clash against South Africa on June 19, along with Joel Wilson, who will be the TV Umpire.

Wilson then joins Gaffaney on the field for USA v England in Barbados on June 23.
