ST JOHN’S, Antigua - Cricket West Indies (CWI) today announced an eight-match white-ball series between the West Indies Women and Pakistan Women and a historic six-match white-ball series between the West Indies Women A-Team and Pakistan Women A-Team, with both series taking place in Antigua from June 30 to July 18. The Tour will see the return of Women’s international cricket to the Caribbean for the first time in nineteen months due to the impact of COVID-19.
Pakistan will arrive in the Caribbean on June 23 ahead of the T20 International (T20I) Series, which starts on June 30. The T20Is and T20 A-Team matches will be played on the same day and at the same venues as “double-headers”. The teams will then switch gears as they head into a five-match CG Insurance One Day International (ODI) Series and three-match CG Insurance A-Team One-Day Series starting on July 7 and 10 respectively. All matches will take place at the two ICC accredited grounds in Antigua, the Sir Vivian Richards Stadium and the Coolidge Cricket Ground. The ODI series will be vital preparation for both teams as they will face each other in the ICC Women’s Cricket World Cup Qualifiers that are due to take place in Sri Lanka in December for one of the three remaining qualifying spots for the Cricket World Cup in New Zealand, 2022.

In reply to CaribbeanCricket.com Damn the West Indies women would give us a much better fight against the South African men than what our men are giving us. But what to expect when Roger Harper and selectors have destroyed our best talents like Bravo and Hetmyer
Our current men's team is comprised of either wounded or dead players. Our wounded players: 1. Jason Holder stripped of captaincy 2. Royston Chase, stripped of vice captaincy then dropped and brought back 3. Powell dropped and kept in wilderness for years 4. Bravo dropped, brought back for 2 tests, dropped again 5. Hetmyer dropped and placed in wilderness, 6. Hope: dropped and brought back, Blackwood: dropped and brought back. Needless to talk about Brooks, Diwrich, and Campbell who all helped us beat England in England in 2020. So selectors, coaches and management have completely destroyed the confidence of our team. So we are left with a team of wounded soldiers battling for us.

While we keep destroying the confidence of our players, we still have same coach, same head selector and selectors that have all been around throughout our failure. In the NBA, teams that failed to make the playoffs or didn't go deep enough have either fired their head coach or management before trading any player. So I recommend firing every coach and selector and replace them with the selectors and coaches of our women's team. They look more fit and more competent than those of our senior men's team
