Injuries threaten to derail WINDIES Women's direct road to World Cup

Even as injuries continue to plague the West Indies’ quest to finish among the top five teams in the ICC Women’s Championship*, Shamilia Connell warns that Australia will need their 'A' game to get the better of WINDIES on home soil. Coming off of the back of a three nil away series defeat to England, WINDIES' task has been made even more difficult by the injuries to senior ladies--Shakera Selman, Chedean Nation and Shemaine Campbelle.

West Indies batsmen surrender home advantage

The West Indies were left to rue their decision-making both on and off the field, as the opportunity to pick up points at home in their first battle of the ICC World Test Championships went abegging in a 2-0 series defeat to India. To say WINDIES batsmen were found wanting (again), would be an understatement. We could list all the cringe-worthy statistics, saying that “we need a new batting line-up”, “enough is enough” and “none of them deserve to wear the shirt”. Still, how realistic is it that the West Indies should name their next Test team with four or five new batsmen? Yes, changes should be made, but could we possibly look to replace the out of sorts Brathwaite, the unacquainted Hetmyer, the barren Hope and the unsettled Campbell all at once? Nope. And this is where the patience of the fans—in understanding the long haul—comes into play.
