The Regional Women’s Super50 and T20 Blaze will mark their return next month when the Cricket West Indies’ tournament heads to Guyana from June 7-25.
According to Cricket West Indies, the Super50 will be played in a round-robin format across three venues, Everest Cricket Club, Enmore Community Centre Cricket Club Ground, and National Stadium, Providence. The T20 Blaze will see three matches daily and all played at the National Stadium.
For this year’s CG Insurance Super50 and the T20 Blaze, several world-class players will be representing their home territories in what promises to be a keenly contested three weeks of action. Barbados are defending champions in both formats.
This will mark a significant return as the women’s tournaments were not played in 2020 and 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
“During that period CWI continued its investment in the development of women’s players and organized several high-performance camps at the Coolidge Cricket Ground in Antigua and also hosted international series, including an inaugural Women’s “A” Team series, while the West Indies Women’s team also toured England, Pakistan and South Africa,” a correspondence stated.
Guyana will open their Super50 campaign against the defending champions at National Stadium on June 7 before taking on Trinidad at Everest two days after. Guyana will then return to National Stadium on June 12 to face Jamaica followed by matches against Leewards Islands and Windward Islands on June 14 and 17 at Enmore.
“We are delighted to see the return of the women’s regional tournament on our annual calendar as it is a crucial component of our cricket in the region. We are also pleased to have our international players in action on home soil playing with our regional players,” said Jimmy Adams, CWI’s Director of Cricket.
He continued, “Our women’s game is showing improvement, as was demonstrated with some good performances during the ICC Women’s Cricket World Cup in New Zealand earlier this year. Ideally, we want to see further demonstration of that progress as we look to upcoming bilateral series and international events. Very importantly, the regional tournament will serve to identify players who could potentially graduate to our international squads in the near future.”
