Despite the focus on the upcoming Men’s T20 World Cup, West Indies Women’s captain Hayley Matthews is gearing up to help West Indies Women win their second T20 World Cup five months from now.
While the Caribbean and the USA will jointly host the highly anticipated men’s event from June 1 to 29, the Women’s World Cup will bowl off on October 3 in Bangladesh.
West Indies Women lifted their first and only World Cup title in 2016 when they defeated favourites Australia by eight wickets in Kolkata, India.
