Cricket West Indies, CWI, announced the women’s squad to compete against Bangladesh in their upcoming inaugural bilateral white-ball tour of the West Indies from January 19-31.
The tour will feature three CG United One-Day Internationals and three T20 Internationals, all scheduled to take place at Warner Park in Basseterre, St Kitts.
This marks the West Indies Women’s first-ever bilateral series against Bangladesh, and it is Bangladesh’s first bilateral series tour of the Caribbean, as both teams continue their preparation for upcoming ICC events.
The two teams last met in the group stage of the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup 2024 in the UAE on October 10, where West Indies Women secured an eight-wicket victory at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium.
Previously, their last T20I clash was on November 9, 2018 at Guyana’s Providence Stadium during that year’s ICC Women’s T20 World Cup in the Caribbean.
Their last ODI meeting, which took place nearly three years ago in New Zealand on March 18, 2022, resulted in a four-run victory for the West Indies.
Overall, the two teams have met five times in international competition—four times in T20Is and once in an ODI—and West Indies are yet to taste defeat.
