The Tournament comes on the cusp of CWI’s announcement to start a new Women’s Academy in July for the best U23 players in the region. ​ This will be a major boost for the development of Women’s Cricket in the West Indies and forms part of the overall strategic plan to commit more resources to improving the women’s game at all levels.

Keep working , CWI!big grin Women's cricket is the way forward.

You now need recruitment efforts locally at the tertiary institutions, among high school athletes, tennis, hockey badminton players. etc.

Don't forget football players. With their nimble foot movements, you might discover some batters.

Your newly minted first-level coaches could conduct some short one day camps just to identify interest and talent.
