England cricket team's loss is England's umpires' gain as Richard Illingworth and Richard Kettleborough have been selected to take charge of the tournament showpiece on Sunday.

The 2019 World Cup winners' early departure has paved the way for the experienced English duo to stand as hosts India take on Australia in Ahmedabad, with Kettleborough taking centre stage for the second time having previously officiated the 2015 final.

Both men umpired in the semi-finals, Illingworth involved as India defeated New Zealand and Kettleborough in the middle for Australia's win over South Africa.

West Indian Joel Wilson and Kiwi Chris Gaffaney are on hand as third and fourth umpire, while Zimbabwean Andy Pycroft serves as match referee.
