The International Cricket Council (ICC) has revealed the match officials selected for the league phase of the ICC Women's Cricket World Cup 2025. This marks a historic moment as it is the first time that an all-female panel will officiate every match in the tournament. The Women's Cricket World Cup is set to commence on September 30 in Guwahati, India, and Sri Lanka will co-host.

The panel consists of 14 umpires and four match referees from nine countries. The match referees appointed are Trudy Anderson, Shandré Fritz, GS Lakshmi, and Michelle Pereira. The umpires are Lauren Agenbag, Candace la Borde, Kim Cotton, Sarah Dambanevana, Shathira Jakir Jesy, Kerrin Klaaste, Janani Narayanan, Nimali Perera, Claire Polosak, Vrinda Rathi, Sue Redfern, Eloise Sheridan, Gayathri Venugopalan, and Jacquline Williams.

Claire Polosak and Eloise Sheridan, an experienced Australian duo, will be the on-field umpires for the opening match between India and Sri Lanka in Guwahati. Polosak is participating in her third ICC Women's Cricket World Cup, while Sheridan was part of the team at the last edition in New Zealand three years ago. In 2018, Polosak and Sheridan became the first pair of female umpires to stand in a competitive match in Australia, and in 2023, they were the first female officials to take charge of a Sheffield Shield encounter. Kim Cotton will be the TV umpire, Shathira Jakir Jesy will be the fourth umpire, and Shandré Fritz will be the match referee for the opening fixture.

Sue Redfern and Gayathri Venugopalan will be the on-field umpires for the match between Australia and New Zealand the following day in Indore. Lauren Agenbag and Nimali Perera will officiate Bangladesh's clash with Pakistan on October 2 in Sri Lanka. Kim Cotton, who officiated the 2022 final, will be an on-field umpire for India's match against South Africa on October 9.

The appointments for the semi-finals will be announced at the end of the round-robin league, and the appointments for the final will be announced once the finalists are confirmed.

ICC Chair Jay Shah stated that these appointments represent a defining moment for the game and will set a precedent for greater opportunities for women in cricket.
