The news will undoubtedly cheer up India’s millions of fans. Let’s find out who will officiate this intense game.

According to information provided by the ICC, Rodney Tucker and Richard Illingworth will officiate the India vs. Pakistan game on the field. Aside from this, Chris Gaffney has been assigned the role of TV umpire, while David Boon has been appointed match referee. Richard Illingworth has officiated 248 Twenty20 matches in total. In addition to this, Rodney Tucker has officiated 77 T20 matches. This has made Indian cricket fans quite delighted.
