USA, T&T to feature in ICC Americas women’s championship
The ICC Americas women’s championship to be played in Florida from today will feature the four teams from last year’s inaugural tournament (Argentina, Brazil, defending champions Canada, Bermuda) as well as USA and a development squad from Trinidad & Tobago.

The teams will be divided into groups and play Twenty20s over the first two days and 40-over games after that. The top two teams from the 40-over games will advance to a three-day series to be played in 2010. The winner of that series will advance to the global qualifier. The team sent by T&T, to increase the level of competition in the tournament, will not be eligible for the qualifiers.
The USA team will be coached by former Guyana and West Indies women’s player Indomatie Goordial-John and includes Candace Atkins, who also represented Guyana and the West Indies in Women’s cricket.
The 23-year-old Goordial-John represented St Vincent in the last West Indies Women’s tournament after she married a Vincentian and resided in the Windward Island.
She now lives in the USA and told Kaieteur Sports that she has not yet qualified to play and was offered the coaching job.
The right-hander from Unity Village on the East Coast of Demerara said she should be eligible to play by next year and expressed confidence in the USA putting up a strong challenge as they hope to qualify for the next Women’s Cricket World Cup.
