It's so boring.. When will finals start

Richard Illingworth and Paul Reiffel have been announced as the on-field umpires for the India vs New Zealand ICC Champions Trophy 2025 final.

The ICC announced the list of match officials for the upcoming Champions Trophy final between India and New Zealand. Paul Reiffel and Richard Illingworth will be the on-field umpires, while Joel Wilson will take over TV umpire duties.

Additionally, Kumar Dharmasena will be present as the fourth umpire, while Ranjan Madugalle will be the match official for this high-profile contest.

Indian fans will have bittersweet memories regarding the presence of Illingworth as an umpire. The Englishman took charge of the 2023 ODI World Cup final, which India lost in heartbreaking fashion, and the 2024 T20 World Cup final, where the men in blue won their first ICC trophy in 11 years.

Illingworth was also the standing umpire for the clash between India and New Zealand in their group fixture in Dubai earlier this week, where India finished top of the group thanks to a 44-run victory over the Kiwis. On Tuesday, he also went on to umpire the semifinal contest between India and Australia.

Both umpires closing in on 100 ODIs

Illingworth is a four-time ICC umpire of the year, and is closing in on a century of ODI matches officiated as an on-field umpire. In his 15 year career, this will be his 99th ODI. His partner for the day will be similarly experienced, this being Reiffel’s 95th ODI match since his debut as an umpire in 2009.
