International Cricket Council: Richard Illingworth and Rod Tucker have been named by the International Cricket Council (ICC) to be on-field umpires for the India-New Zealand semifinal of the 2023 ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup at the Wankhede Stadium on Wednesday.

Australia’s Tucker will stand in his 100th ODI match as an on-field umpire with Illingworth, as the semi-final clash lines up between the host nation and New Zealand, who beat India at the same stage four years ago.

Illingworth was also an on-field umpire on that occasion when New Zealand won over India by 18 runs in a weather-affected match spread over two days at Manchester, Old Trafford, while Tucker was the third umpire.
