Aguilleira ready to embark on a new journey
FORMER West Indies women team cricket captain Merissa Aguilleira is ready to embark on a new journey, after she has hung up her bat and gloves, at the international level. The 33-year-old wicketkeeper/batsman made this announcement at a TT Cricket Board (TTCB) function, at the TTCB headquarters, National Cricket Centre, Balmain, Couva, on Wednesday evening, hours after the Cricket West Indies (CWI) announced her retirement from the international circuit.“Don’t feel sad for me, because I’m happy,” said Aguilleira.
“One chapter has finished and I’m going to start another chapter.” Aguilleira, a devout Christian, acknowledged, “I know that God has called on me for a divine purpose on this earth, and I know that my voice will be heard.”
She continued, “I have started something with my sponsor Atlantic LNG. They have built a platform for me to inspire the younger generation.” Aguilleira said, “I am here on a mission to take women’s cricket to the next level. I am willing and able to represent West Indies cricket outside of the field.”

Skerrit, TTCB praise Aguilleira's career
"Merissa has given beyond her best during her years of dedicated service to cricket," said head of Cricket West Indies (CWI), Richard Skerritt, on Wednesday at a farewell function hosted by the T&T Cricket Board (TTCB) at its Balmain, Couva headquarters, for Merissa Aguilleira who recently announced her resignation from playing competitive cricket.
Aguilleira was celebrated for her contribution to the sport over the years at the gathering which had TTCB president Azim Bassarath and Couva South MP Rudranath Indarsingh in attendance.
"I am proud to have given several years to WI. Playing and winning the World Cup was the high point of my career," said Aguilleira, who wants to see a U-19 women’s World Cup competition in the near future.
