Australia’s Claire Polosak and New Zealand’s Kathy Cross will officiate for the women’s tournament at the upcoming ICC World T20 2016.

This is the first time in history women were selected to umpire at the T20 games.

Cross has officiated at Women’s World Cup in 2000, 2009 and 2013, while Polosak will ‘stand in a global event for the first time when she oversees the New Zealand-Ireland clash at Mohali on March 18’, foreign media reported.
