Champions to battle England in ODI series

ST JOHN'S–Twen­ty20 World cham­pi­ons West In­dies Women will turn their at­ten­tion to the 50-overs for­mat when they clash with Eng­land Women in a five-match One-Day In­ter­na­tion­al se­ries this Oc­to­ber in the Caribbean.

The West In­dies Crick­et Board yes­ter­day con­firmed the two sides would meet in a se­ries from Oc­to­ber 8-19, with the three fi­nal games des­ig­nat­ed with ICC Women's Cham­pi­onship points.

For West In­dies Women, the tour­na­ment will be the first since win­ning the Twen­ty20 World Cup in In­dia last month and WICB's Project Of­fi­cer for women's crick­et, Josi­na Luke, said the se­ries would be high­ly an­tic­i­pat­ed.

"Win­ning the World T20 con­tin­ues to be great for women's crick­et in the Caribbean," Luke said. "We are tak­ing noth­ing for grant­ed and we look for­ward to an ex­cit­ing se­ries with Eng­land."

Eng­land Women's Head Coach, Mark Robin­son, said the re­cent T20 World Cup had been a stern re­minder of the Caribbean side's qual­i­ty, and not­ed his squad was prepar­ing for a tough bat­tle.

"We all saw dur­ing the ICC Women's World T20 what a tal­ent­ed side they are, and they will be es­pe­cial­ly dan­ger­ous in home con­di­tions."

The first two games have been sched­uled for Oc­to­ber 8 and 10 at the lit­tle-used Telawny Sta­di­um, which first host­ed warm-up games for the 2007 Crick­et World Cup but to date has nev­er staged an in­ter­na­tion­al fix­ture.

For the last three games, the teams will turn their at­ten­tion to the his­toric Sabi­na Park in Kingston, where they play games on Oc­to­ber 14, 16 and 19.
