The Emirates International Panel of ICC Umpires

The Emirates International Panel of ICC Umpires is made up of officials nominated from each of the ten Test playing cricket boards.

The Emirates International Panel stand in One-Day International matches in their home country, and assist the Emirates Elite Panel at peak times in the cricket calendar when they can be appointed to overseas ODI and Test matches. Emirates International Panel members also undertake overseas umpiring assignments such as the ICC U/19 Cricket World Cup to allow them to gain experience of the different conditions around the world, and speed up the learning process in readiness for potential elevation to the Emirates Elite Panel.

As well as nominating two on-field International Panel umpires, each Test-playing country must also nominate a TV umpire. These officials do not perform on-field duties at international level, but are all first-class umpires in their own county. This position can be seen as one of the steps on the road to becoming a member of the Emirate Elite Panel of ICC Umpires.
