KINGSTON, Jamaica – West Indies Cricket Board president, Dave Cameron, has backed the women’s side to easily qualify for next year’s World Cup in England, despite their recent series loss to the hosts in the Caribbean.

Cameron told Line and Length Network even though he believed the Stafanie Taylor-led unit would secure automatic qualification, if they did not, a place in the eight-team tournament was still virtually assured.

“I think they will qualify easily,” Cameron said.

“And again, it’s a ten-team [qualifying] tournament, there are eight teams playing now in the Women’s Championship so I think we’ll qualify but if we don’t automatically qualify then I can’t see us missing out on the World Cup.

“I think they are very relaxed in their approach right now.”

West Indies Women currently sit third in the ICC Women’s Championship, the ongoing competition which will determine the four automatic qualifiers for the 50-overs World Cup which runs from June 26 to July 23, 2017.

That is why we should NEVER take things for granted. All should be doing EVERYTHING to ensure that automatic place into the championship.

In reply to WestDem... but is his hand picked boys, is not like is the PDs got picked under pressure from outside and them failing.

Cameron needs to be sacked
WICB needs to Disband
Caricom needs to take over administrative duties re Cricket.
West Indies cricket supporters need to bring Class action suit against WICB

Sadly I cannot express any confidence
in Cameron & Co , those in the Stewardship of Cricket in the Region is Abysmal , and that is being very kind .

It is high time that those in the WICBC that they have met the Enemy , and the Enemy is the WICBC . I seriously doubt that these People have
mirrors in their Houses ; if they do
then it is very doubtful that they look in their mirrors .

They are too busy engaging in self
preservation rather than exercising
Good Governance in West Indies Cricket . As a result they have failed the people in the Region .

I challenge Cameron & Co to state
specifically what is so praise worthy
about the current 89 years old Structure , why it must forever remain their Security Blanket . WE
are currently living in the 21st. Century , not the 20th. Century .
