Jamaican match official Jacqueline Williams is among six female umpires selected to officiate this year’s ICC Women’s T20 World Cup which will be held in Australia.

Williams is among 15 officials named to by the International Cricket Council to take the reins for the 23-match tournament.

She will stand with Shaun George in the high-profile tournament opener between Australia and India on February 21.

She recently became the first woman to officiate as a third umpire in a men's international cricket match during the Windies' home T20 series against Ireland last month.
