Match-again Henry named in West Indies’ provisional squad for first two Ireland ODIs
West Indies have named fit-again Chinelle Henry of their 16-member provisional squad for the primary two ODIs of their three-match collection towards Ireland. The allrounder has totally recovered from the harm that stored her out of the latest Super50 Cup and T20 Blaze.
“The ODI series against Ireland gives a good opportunity for batters to focus and to stay longer at the crease and build an innings,” Ann Browne-John, CWI’s lead selector for ladies’s cricket, stated. “A number of the younger players would be transitioning from the shorter format to the 50-over format. They definitely have the potential, and it is important that the policy of identifying young players and developing the talent pool is continued.”
The ODI collection is a part of the Women’s Championship, the place West Indies and Ireland are the bottom-most groups. Both groups have performed six video games every up to now; West Indies have one win whereas Ireland are but to open their account.
“The squad shows a great balance of batting coupled with a variety of bowling styles, which is something that has been lacking in the recent past,” Browne-John stated. “Victory here will provide valuable points as the team attempts to move up in the rankings and qualify for the World Cup.”
The ODI collection from June 26, West Indies’ first ODI cricket since December 2022, might be adopted by three T20Is. All six matches might be performed on the Daren Sammy Cricket Ground in St Lucia, and for the primary time, a full West Indies Women’s bilateral house collection might be broadcast dwell on tv.
These are West Indies’ solely house fixtures this 12 months.
