India's first woman ICC referee is G. S. Laxmi. In which field did she achieve this milestone?

• A. Football
• B. Badminton
• C. Cricket
• D. Tennis

Answer: (C)

Cricket is the field being referred to. The ICC, or International Cricket Council, is the global authority for cricket, and an ICC match referee is a senior official who oversees the conduct of international matches, handles disciplinary matters, and coordinates with umpires and team officials on the field. G. S. Laxmi becoming India’s first woman to hold an ICC refereeing position marks a historic achievement in cricket, showing progress for Indian women in officiating at the highest level. The other sports listed have their own governing bodies and officiating systems, not the ICC, so this milestone is specific to cricket.
