West Indies Rising Stars Women’s Under19 Championship bowls off in Trinidad today
Kaieteur Sports – The region’s best Under-19 women’s cricketers have assembled in Trinidad for the second annual Cricket West Indies (CWI) Rising Stars Women’s Under-19 Championship, from 4 to 12 July.
The competition will witness six teams Barbados, Guyana, Jamaica, Leeward Islands, Trinidad & Tobago, and Windward Islands in 30-over matches, which will be played at the National Cricket Centre (NCC), UWI Sports & Physical Education Centre (UWI SPEC), and Gilbert Park Cricket Ground (GPCG).
This tournament serves as a pivotal platform for showcasing and identifying talent, facilitating their progression.
CWI’s strategic plan has committed resources into developing the women’s cricket at every level. This tournament therefore plays a vital role in the strategy to develop the talent pool and produce the next generation of West Indies Women’s players.
The region’s best Under-19 women’s cricketers are in Trinidad for the second annual CWI Rising Stars Women’s Under-19 Championship which starts today.
CWI’s Talent Pathway Manager Steve Liburd said: “This tournament is vital for the growth of women’s cricket in the region, and we are preparing for our regional youth tournaments to be consistent to the pathway system we have for men’s cricket over the next few years.
This year’s tournament is key because we have to identify the next group of players who will make up the squad for the next ICC Women’s U19 Cricket World Cup and be the feeder group for the new Women’s Academy that will lead into the West Indies senior women’s team.”
The tournament will see three matches each day starting at 10am (9am Jamaica Time). LIVE ball-by-ball scoring of each match will be available on the www.windiescricket.com match centre.
