Grenada National Stadium: Jacqueline Williams is set to become the first female umpire from the West Indies to stand in a men’s T20 International featuring two full-member teams. She will achieve this feat when she becomes an on-field umpire for the second T20I between West Indies and England at the Grenada National Stadium on Thursday.

The 47-yera-old Jacqueline will be joined on field by experienced umpire Gregory, while Leslie Reifer Jr. r will be the television umpire. The fourth umpire for the match is Patrick Gustard with Sir Richie Richardson, the former West Indies captain, as the Match Referee.

“It is like a dream come true. It’s a good feeling to be the first, but I hope I won’t be the last. I’m truly honored to be given this amazing opportunity and I want to make sure I give my best when I take the field on Thursday. It is obvious that from what I have done so far in my career this would be a testimony to my work,” said Jacqueline to Cricket West Indies (CWI) Media.
