Umpire Panels Released for 2024-25 Season

South Australian umpires Drew Crozier and Eloise Sheridan have been named on Cricket Australia’s new Contracted Umpires Panel.

As part of a new three-year agreement between Cricket Australia and the Umpire Leadership Group (ULG), the 18-umpire Cricket Australia Contracted Umpires Panel (CACUP) will replace the National Umpire Panel (NUP) and Supplementary Umpire Panel (SUP).

The new model is designed to ensure the highest-performing umpires are officiating more matches each season in domestic competitions.

Drew Crozier expressed his excitement about joining the panel, “I am honoured to represent South Australia alongside Eloise Sheridan on this prestigious panel and can’t wait to work with other umpires from around the country.”

SACA warmly congratulates Drew and Eloise on their selection, recognising their dedication, expertise, and exceptional contributions to the game.

Additionally, SACA has announced the State Umpire Panel (SUP) for the 2024-25 season. The SUP comprises the state's top umpires, and we welcome back Mary Waldron after a brief hiatus from top-level umpiring. We also extend our gratitude to Harsimran Singh for his valuable contributions to the game. Congratulations to all seven umpires selected to the SUP.
