The Cricket West Indies (CWI) selection panel today announced a 15-member West Indies Women squad for the upcoming ICC Women’s T20 World Cup in South Africa starting on 11 February. The squad sees the inclusion of three West Indies Under 19 Rising Stars players who recently competed in the first ever ICC Women’s U19 World Cup: Zaida James, Trishan Holder and Djenaba Joseph.
Shemaine Campbelle, the wicketkeeper/batter has been named as Vice-Captain. Experienced allrounder Stafanie Taylor has been named in the squad subject to a final fitness assessment.
Lead Selector Ann Browne-John said: “The selectors have opted for a blend of youth and experience for the upcoming T20 World Cup. Four senior players who have been out through injury have returned – Stafanie Taylor, Shakera Selman, Chinelle Henry and Chedean Nation. We continue the developmental pathway to grow women’s cricket in the region, hence we feel the time is right to include three of the Under 19 Rising Stars in the squad.”
