The recent scrutiny surrounding the lethargic showing of the West Indies women’s team is understandable but the responsibility does not fall squarely on the shoulders of Stafanie Taylor and her troops. The board has to take some of the blame for its nonchalant approach towards women’s cricket in the region. Nevertheless, something has to give.
But just how bad have they been? Or has the recent 0-5 series T20 loss against England caused exaggerated calls to overhaul women’s cricket in the region? It is a mixture of both.
For context, the ladies in Maroon are currently ranked sixth in the world only ahead of fellow ICC full members Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka and Zimbabwe in T20s.
