How many officials are needed for cricket?

In cricket, a minimum of two umpires is required to officiate a match, along with a third umpire for television replays in some formats, such as international games. Additionally, a match referee is typically appointed to oversee the conduct of the game and ensure that the rules are followed. For limited-overs formats like One Day Internationals and T20s, a fourth official may also be present to assist with administrative duties.
