West Indies Women to host New Zealand for three ODIs and five T20Is
West Indies women will host New Zealand in Antigua for three ODIs and five T20Is in September-October this year.
The West Indies women will use their upcoming tour against New Zealand to test their depth as they approach the 2023 T20 World Cup.
West Indies Women return to action on home soil when they host New Zealand Women in the eight-match white-ball tour from September 16 to October 6 in Antigua.
This is the first time they will be hosting the team in eight years.
The last time New Zealand toured the West Indies was in 2014. The visitors lost the ODI series 4-0 before bouncing back to clinch the T20I series 2-1, winning the final game in Super Over.
Courtney Walsh, West Indies Women’s Head Coach, welcomed the tour and said they will have a keen eye on the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup. “I am very happy that we will be hosting New Zealand in the West Indies. They are a very competitive team, and this will make for a great series for our team. As it comes just after we’ve had the Women’s regional tournaments and the Women’s CPL, it will be a great fillip for our players,” Walsh said.
West Indies are currently holding a specialist camp that includes some new players. There will be another camp in Antigua after the Women's CPL.
The CG United ODI Series is scheduled for September 16, 19 and 22 and the T20Is are scheduled for September 26 to October 6.
