Stafanie Taylor Only Jamaican Named in England Tour Squad

Stafanie Taylor is the only Jamaican named in a West Indies women’s 15-member squad for a White-ball tour of England, from May 21 to June 8.

The tour includes three T20 Internationals and three One-Day Internationals to be played at several venues across the country.

The squad will be led by captain Hayley Matthews and includes a strong mix of experienced players and emerging talent eager to represent the region well and move on from their participation in the ICC Women’s Cricket World Cup Qualifiers in Pakistan last month.

The other members of the squad are, vice-captain Shemaine Campbelle, Aaliyah Alleyne, Afy Fletcher, Cherry Ann Fraser, Shabika Gajnabi, Jannillea Glasgow, Zaida James, Qiana Joseph, Mandy Mangru, Ashmini Munisar and Karishma Ramharack.
