    T20 WC: Illingworth, Wharf Named On-field Umpires For India-New Zealand Title Clash

    T20 World Cup: England duo of Richard Illingworth and Alex Wharf have been named as on-field umpires for the 2026 ICC Men’s T20 World Cup final, to be played between India and New Zealand at the Narendra Modi Stadium on Sunday.

    Illingworth will oversee his second successive T20 World Cup final, after having been on ground with Chris Gaffaney in the 2024 decider, where India beat South Africa by seven runs in Barbados. The appointment adds to Illingworth’s recent run of high-profile on-field umpiring assignments, including the 2023 Men’s Cricket World Cup final and the 2025 ICC Champions Trophy final.

    Wharf, meanwhile, will be the umpire in his first senior World Cup final. The former England seamer previously officiated in the 2022 Women’s Cricket World Cup and the 2023 Men’s Cricket World Cup before joining the ICC Elite Panel of Umpires last year.
