What Happened
Cricket West Indies (CWI) has announced a 15-member squad to face Sri Lanka in a three-match Women’s T20 International Series scheduled from February 28 to March 3 at the National Cricket Stadium in St George’s, Grenada. The series follows Sri Lanka Women’s recent success in the ODI series, where they secured a 2-0 lead against the West Indies Women.
Why It Matters
The upcoming T20 series is crucial for both teams as they prepare for the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup 2026, set to take place in the United Kingdom from June 12 to July 5. The West Indies squad, led by captain Hayley Matthews, includes promising talent such as 17-year-old Eboni Brathwaite, who has been called up following her impressive performance in the regional T20 Blaze tournament. This series will serve as an important platform for the West Indies to build momentum in the shortest format of the game.
What’s Next
As the teams gear up for the T20 series, Sri Lanka Women will aim to maintain their winning streak, while the West Indies Women will look to bounce back after their recent ODI losses. The performance of key players like Dewmi Vihanga and Inoka Ranaweera will be pivotal for Sri Lanka, while the West Indies will rely on their experienced players to turn the tide in their favor.
