ST. JOHN’S, Antigua – Cricket West Indies (CWI) today confirmed the West Indies Women’s squad to compete in the ICC Women’s Cricket World Cup Qualifiers 2025, scheduled for 9 to 19 April in Lahore, Pakistan.
The team departs today for a pre-tournament camp in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) before traveling to Pakistan, where they will compete for one of the two remaining spots in the ICC Women’s Cricket World Cup 2025, set to take place in India from October to November.
The West Indies will face five opponents in a round-robin format: hosts Pakistan, Ireland, Bangladesh, Scotland, and Thailand. The top two teams will join Australia, England, New Zealand, South Africa, Sri Lanka, and hosts India in the main tournament.
