Didn't they have a Rising Stars tournament not too long ago? USA won the competition.

I don't understand, how can you under take such a big tour to India and not have a major domestic compitition to chose the team, we never had much going on for young female cricketers, we should get our house in order before venturing out in these major under takings, if the girls are over match, cause for major loss in self confidence

Dat just goes to show how much you follow WI cricket.

T20 Tournament

It would be nice if the writers of these articles could list the various territories the players are from.

such bad lazy journalism. England would show what county they representing and Australia would show the state they are associated with but the West Indies ? Is like do the research yourself. I notice the Under 19 men teams gets the same treatment.

I did mention I was not sure whether or not there was a female under 19 compititation, having said that, I think it is early days for women's youth cricket in the Caribbean, should be more local compitition before these big exposure

Look at the names!

What difference does it make anyhow?

Or you just want to complain about which territory got the most picks?
