ST JOHN’S, Antigua, CMC – St Kitts will host this year’s Cricket West Indies Women’s Super50 Cup and Twenty20 Blaze from March 4 to 25.
With four regulars in the West Indies Women’s squad over the past decade announcing their retirements last month, CWI is hoping that the two tournaments unearth worthy replacements: Anisa Mohammed, Shakera Selman, and the Knight twins, Kycia, and Kyshona.
“This year’s United Super50 Cup and T20 Blaze will be a great opportunity to build on what we started in 2023, with the creation of the West Indies Women’s Academy and the commendable performance of the Under-19 women’s team in the historic inaugural ICC Women’s U19 Cricket World Cup last year,” CWI director of cricket, Miles Bascombe said.
“2024 is a packed year in the women’s calendar with three away bilateral series in Asia and an ICC Women’s T20 World Cup in Bangladesh.
“The ladies have the perfect opportunity to put their names forward for selection into any of these squads by their performances in the Super50 and T20 Blaze tournaments. We are all looking forward to some scintillating performances in St. Kitts.”
The Super50 tournament will be contested at three venues – Warner Park, Conaree Cricket Centre, and St Paul’s Sports Complex – from March 4 to 13, and there will be three matches a day in the T20 Blaze – all at Warner Park – like in previous years.
Barbados are the double crown defending champions, and they announced on Thursday that Kycia Knight will lead their side into battle.
A notable omission from the Barbados squad is West Indies Women’s captain Hayley Matthews, who plays in India’s Women’s Premier League T20 tournament.
