after hosting Pakistan and South Africa in the Caribbean this summer.
The West Indies Women’s players are currently in Antigua attending a
High-Performance Training Camp as part of the team’s preparation for the

Cricket West Indies’ (CWI) CEO, Johnny Grave has indicated that the reciprocal
tour to Pakistan is an important part of the West Indies Women’s preparation
plans ahead of the mid-November Zimbabwe hosted World Cup qualifying tournament.

different conditions compared to the Caribbean and have more
high-level competitive cricket ahead of aiming to secure one of
the three qualifying spots available for the Women’s Cricket World
Cup next year.”
The West Indies Women last toured Pakistan in January 2019 for three (3) T20
Internationals in Karachi.
