Dubai: ICC has released the list of match officials for the ODI World Cup starting next month. ICC released the list of 16 umpires and four match referees. There is only one Indian on the ICC list as an umpire. Nitin Menonan, a Malayali umpire, is the only Indian umpire officiating the match in the World Cup. India’s Javagal Srinath is also on the list as match referee.
