ST. JOHN’S, Antigua – Cricket West Indies (CWI) today confirmed the squads of the six regional teams participating in the 2024 CG United Women’s Super50 Cup and T20 Blaze.
The CG United Super50 Cup matches will be played at three venues in St. Kitts – Warner Park, the Conaree Cricket Centre, and St. Paul’s Sports Complex from 4 to 25 March with the 50-over matches starting at 10am local time.
The T20 Blaze will feature five full days of entertainment for fans from 17 to 25 March at Warner Park. There will be three matches per day – starting at 10am, 2:30pm and 7pm (under lights).
Barbados are defending champions in both the CG United Super50 Cup and the T20 Blaze.
Barbados and West Indies Women’s captain Hayley Matthews will miss the CG United Women’s Super50 Cup and the T20 Blaze as she has been granted a No Objection Certificate (NOC) to participate in the Women’s Premiere League in India.
CWI’s Director of Cricket Miles Bascombe said
“It’s an exciting period for women’s cricket in the region. This year’s CG United Women’s Super50 and T20 Blaze has a whole new context as we seek to professionalize the women’s pathway with the first cohort of regionally contracted Women being signed on from October 1, 2024. We will miss Hayley’s profile and impact in the regional Tournament. She is our gold standard. I am sure she will make us proud at the WPL which will be excellent preparation for her ahead of ICC Women’s T20 World Cup later this year.”
Fans can attend all the matches for free and all matches will be streamed live with commentary on the Windies Cricket YouTube channel, along with live scorecards and ball-by-ball scoring on the windiescricket.com match centre.
