The umpiring panel for the ICC U/19 Cricket World Cup has been made up of eight officials from the Emirates ICC International Panel and four members of the ICC Associate and Affiliate Panel.

The latter panel was formed last year to give umpires from non Test-playing ICC Members the chance of standing at the highest level.

Further appointments for the rest of the tournament will be made and announced in due course.

* Both Super League semi-finals and the Super League final are day-night matches, starting at 2.30pm. All other matches are day games starting at 10am.

The second Super League semi-final between Australia and Pakistan takes place on 17 February and the final will be played on 19 February.

Pakistan are the defending champions after winning the ICC U/19 Cricket World Cup in Bangladesh two years ago, beating the West Indies in the final in Dhaka.
