Madugalle and Mahanama to officiate as match-referees in PSL

The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has hired the services of Ranjan Madugalle and Roshan Mahanama as match-referees for the upcoming PSL (Pakistan Super League) matches to be played in Pakistan.

The 7th edition of the PSL is scheduled to be played in Karachi and Lahore between January 27 to February 27.

Madugalle and Mahanama have been regular visitors to Pakistan and the former ICC match-referee Mahanama has already officiated in the PSL, whereas, Madugalle, the ICC's chief match-referee will make his debut in the PSL, though he has officiated in bilateral series. 

The PCB has also hired  two foreign umpires for this year’s tournament.

Michael Gough and Richard Illingworth (both Englishmen) are on ICC's Elite Umpiring Panel and will officiate in the PSL.
