Cricket West Indies (CWI) has announced that the West Indies Women’s squad will feature only one change heading into the T20 International leg of their ongoing white-ball series against South Africa’s Women’s squad from June 20 – 23.

After a closely contested ODI series that saw the visitors take a 2-1 win, the West Indies Women will be aiming to regroup and make a strong comeback in the shortest format of the game.

The only change to the squad sees the experienced Stafanie Taylor sidelined due to a shoulder injury sustained during the third and final ODI.

In her place, Shawnisha Hector has been called up to the T20I squad, bringing fresh energy to the unit. Hector made her ODI debut in 2019, becoming the first woman from Antigua to represent the regional side in the process. She is yet to feature in T20Is.

The three-match T20I series bowled-off yesterday at the historic 3Ws Oval in Barbados while the remaining matches will be played at the same venue on Sunday, 22 June and Tuesday, 24 June, as the regional side seeks to bounce back with renewed intent.

Fans are encouraged to support the Maroon Warriors, with free admission to all three fixtures. Those unable to attend in person can catch the live action across the Caribbean and around the globe on ESPN Caribbean.
