New Zealand’s female cricket umpire made history by performing on-field umpire duties in the match between New Zealand and Sri Lanka.
Kiwi umpire Kim Cotton has become the first female on-field umpire in the world to officiate a match between two full member nations of the International Cricket Council (ICC) Men’s International.
In the second T20 match between Sri Lanka and New Zealand yesterday, Kim Cotton performed the responsibilities of on-field umpiring.
Newsy Cricket Board shared a photo of Kim Cotton on its official Twitter account and wrote that today is a historic day for Kim Cotton, she became the first female on-field umpire to officiate a match between two full member nations of the ICC Men’s International. Gone.
It should be noted that Claire Polosak from Australia won the honor of being the first female on-field umpire to officiate in a men’s international match in 2019, but she umpired in an ODI match between 2 associate countries Oman and Namibia.
