When determining which umpires will stand in each match/series, the ICC applies the following criteria and considerations:

– Independent of the countries involved in the match/series;
– The best available umpires for the match/series;
– Better performing umpires used more often
– Frequency of individuals appointed to same teams
– Workload considerations
