They represent nine nations, while the four-member panel of match referees include David Boon from Australia, Chris Broad from England, Ranjan Madugalle from Sri Lanka, and Andy Pycroft from Zimbabwe.

The list of umpires includes three from Australia and England, and two from New Zealand, Pakistan, and South Africa.
