The Cricket West Indies (CWI) Selection Panel has named a 14-member squad
for the first and second matches in the CG United One Day International (ODI)
series against England Women starting on 4 December at the Sir Vivian Richards
Stadium in Antigua.
West Indies and England will contest three day/night CG United ODIs starting at
2pm local time/1pm Jamaica time. All three CG United ODIs in the series will
be played at the Sir Vivian Richards Stadium (SVRS) in Antigua on 4, 6 and 9
December as part of the ICC Women’s Championship.
Lead Selector Ann Browne-John said: “The return of Shemaine Campbelle and
Kycia Knight to the ODI squad after missing the last series due to injury will
bolster the team in the absence of the experienced Stafanie Taylor who is
still recuperating from injury sustained during September’s series against
New Zealand. The CG United ODI matches are vital as points earned
will take us a step closer towards automatic qualification for the
next ICC Women’s World Cup in 2025.”
She added: “This series against England comes on the heels of
the New Zealand tour to the West Indies and continues our
important preparation for the upcoming Tri Series against
India and South Africa and the ICC Women’s T20 World
Cup to follow. It gives the players a great opportunity to
develop and push for final selection for the Tri Series and
World Cup.”
The CG United ODI Series is the second opportunity
for the West Indies to gain points in the ICC Women’s
Championship (IWC). The top five teams in the IWC will
automatically book a berth for the ICC Women’s Cricket
World Cup in 2025. The remaining five teams in the IWC
will have to go through the ICC Women’s Cricket
World Cup Qualifier. The T20I Series which follows provides both teams with important
preparation for the 2023 ICC Women’s T20 World Cup in South Africa which
begins on 10 February 2023, with West Indies and England drawn to play each other in Group
2 of the tournament.
