Crick­et West In­dies (CWI) has an­nounced a 15-mem­ber squad for the up­com­ing white-ball tour of Eng­land tak­ing place from May 21 to June 8.

The tour in­cludes three T20 In­ter­na­tion­als and three One-Day In­ter­na­tion­als to be played at sev­er­al venues across the coun­try.

The squad will be led by cap­tain Hay­ley Matthews and in­cludes a strong mix of ex­pe­ri­enced play­ers and emerg­ing tal­ent ea­ger to rep­re­sent the re­gion well and move on from their par­tic­i­pa­tion in the ICC Women’s Crick­et World Cup Qual­i­fiers in Pak­istan last month.

There are two changes to the squad who con­test­ed the World Cup Qual­i­fiers, with 20-year-old Guyanese all rounder Realean­na Grim­mond and Kit­tit­ian fast bowler Jahzara Clax­ton re­plac­ing Ja­maicans wick­et­keep­er/bat­ter Rasha­da Williams and all-rounder Chinelle Hen­ry, re­spec­tive­ly.

Miles Bas­combe, CWI Di­rec­tor of Crick­et, ex­pressed con­fi­dence in the squad, “This up­com­ing tour of Eng­land of­fers our women an im­por­tant op­por­tu­ni­ty to re­assert them­selves on the in­ter­na­tion­al stage. It’s a chance to demon­strate the tal­ent, grit, and char­ac­ter that are syn­ony­mous with West In­dies crick­et.”
