SEASONED Zimbabwe Cricket umpire Langton Rusere continues to make waves on the international stage by officiating in high-profile games, including at the ongoing International Cricket Council (ICC) Men’s T20 World Cup 2024 in the United States and West Indies.

Rusere, who sits on the Emerging Panel of the ICC, made history in 2021 as the first black African umpire to officiate in a Test match.

His steady climb through the ranks led to his selection as one of the umpires for the prestigious T20 World Cup, proving that he had what it takes to officiate at the highest level of the sport.
