Pakistan vs Australia T20I Series: Match Officials Announced by PCB



Hey cricket fans in Pakistan and around the world! The excitement is building up as we gear up for the much-awaited Pakistan vs Australia T20I series right here in Lahore. The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has just dropped the details on the match officials who’ll be calling the shots in this thrilling three-match showdown at the iconic Gaddafi Stadium. If you’re a die-hard supporter of the Green Shirts or just love fast-paced T20 action, this is big news!

The series kicks off on January 29 and wraps up on February 1, with all games starting at 4 PM PKT – perfect timing for us folks in Karachi and across the country to catch every boundary and wicket live. The coin toss will happen at 3:30 PM, so make sure you’re tuned in early.

Leading the pack is none other than former Test cricketer and ICC International Panel Match Referee Ali Naqvi. This guy’s a legend in officiating circles, and get this – the second T20I will mark his 50th game as a match referee in the format! He started his T20I referee journey back in April 2023 at the same Gaddafi Stadium. Talk about coming full circle, eh? Ali will be heading the playing control team for all three matches, ensuring everything runs smoothly and fairly.

Now, let’s break down the umpiring lineup match by match – these are the pros who’ll be on the field, keeping things tight:

  • 1st T20I (January 29): On-field umpires – Ahsan Raza (from the ICC Elite Panel) and Asif Yaqoob (ICC Emerging Panel). Third umpire: Nasir Hussain (ICC International Panel). Fourth umpire: Rashid Riaz (ICC International Panel). Match referee: Ali Naqvi.
  • 2nd T20I (January 31): On-field umpires – Ahsan Raza and Rashid Riaz. Third umpire: Asif Yaqoob. Fourth umpire: Nasir Hussain. Match referee: Ali Naqvi. (This one’s special for Ali’s milestone!)
  • 3rd T20I (February 1): On-field umpires – Rashid Riaz and Nasir Hussain. Third umpire: Tariq Rasheed (PCB National Elite Panel). Fourth umpire: Zulfiqar Jan (PCB National Elite Panel). Match referee: Ali Naqvi.

We’ve got a solid mix of ICC elite and emerging umpires, plus our own PCB national panel pros like Tariq Rasheed and Zulfiqar Jan. It’s great to see Pakistani officials getting the spotlight in such a high-profile series against the Aussies. Remember, Australia is always a tough opponent, but with our home crowd at Gaddafi, Pakistan has a real shot at dominating.
