ST. JOHN'S, ANTIGUA- Cricket West Indies (CWI) wishes to announce that the West Indies Women will face England Women in five (5) Vitality International T20s (IT20s) at the Incora County Ground, Derby in September.
The decision comes only after cricket operations and medical officials from CWI and the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) held detailed discussions and agreed that all local and international logistics and medical protocols would follow those established and successfully implemented for the West Indies Men’s tour to England earlier this year. The players and staff will remain in a bio-secure environment for the duration of the tour, with all matches being played “behind closed doors” at the Incora County Ground, Derby.
CWI’s CEO, Johnny Grave said, “We are delighted to be able to confirm this tour and re-start our Women’s program. It has been a real challenge to put everything in place at short notice but knowing that our Women’s team will be hosted in the same bio-secure environment as our Men’s team, following all the established protocols, has enabled us to confirm the tour in under two weeks since we first spoke to the ECB about the potential opportunity. We are very proud to have restarted Men’s International cricket with the ECB and its great that we can now bring back Women’s International cricket too.”
