Women’s CPL Games to be Played Alongside WI T20 Clashes with SA

For the first time, a women’s franchise game will be running side by side with a men’s international, after Cricket West Indies, CWI, announced the fixtures for this year’s Women’s Caribbean Premier League, to be held in August in Trinidad and Tobago.

Three WCPL matches will be a part of double-headers along with West Indies men’s T20 against South Africa.

All the WCPL games are set for the Brian Lara Cricket Academy in T-and-T, with the double-headers set for August 23, 25 and 27.

Three teams participated in the previous edition of the WCPL, with the Hayley Matthews-led Barbados Royals clinching the title.

South Africa are set to tour the Caribbean for two Tests in T-and-T and Guyana from August 7.

This will be followed by the three-match T20 International series at the Brian Lara Cricket Academy in Trinidad from August 23 ahead of the CPL.

The two teams will also play a four-day warm-up game ahead of the Test series in Tarouba.
