Guyana Ama­zon War­riors cap­tain Stafanie Tay­lor wants to see at least one more fran­chise in the Women’s Caribbean Pre­mier League (WC­PL).

The WC­PL had their in­au­gur­al sea­son in 2022 with three teams, Guyana Ama­zon War­riors, Trin­ba­go Knight Rid­ers (TKR) and Bar­ba­dos Roy­als with TKR win­ning the first ti­tle. This year the same three teams took part with the Roy­als tak­ing the top prize on Sun­day at the Bri­an Lara Crick­et Acad­e­my in Tarou­ba, San Fer­nan­do.

Tay­lor, who led the War­riors to the run­ners-up po­si­tion, told re­porters af­ter Sun­day’s fi­nal that the com­pe­ti­tion this year was re­al­ly good.

She said, “If any­thing I would prob­a­bly change, is maybe hav­ing an­oth­er team. But that de­pends on the pool of play­ers that we have and you don’t nec­es­sar­i­ly want to have four teams and one team be­ing two weak.”

The 32-year-old all­rounder, who has played 265 in­ter­na­tion­al match­es for the West In­dies, said the growth of women’s crick­et in the Caribbean has been good.

“It’s re­al­ly nice to have some of the young play­ers we have, like the emerg­ing play­ers com­ing through and you know, in­te­grat­ing with over­seas play­ers has been good. You could see the per­for­mances of the young play­ers. I think, in terms of the young play­ers and the growth of West In­dies crick­et, I think it’s been good,” said the Ama­zon War­riors skip­per.

Look­ing back at Sun­day’s loss to the Roy­als, Tay­lor, who scored four when the Ama­zon War­riors were chas­ing 170 said she felt the War­riors had giv­en away too many bound­aries when the Roy­als were bat­ting.

“I feel like prob­a­bly 20 runs, maybe in bound­aries and our field­ing prob­a­bly just didn’t help,” said Tay­lor.

The for­mer West In­dies cap­tain scored 85 runs dur­ing the cam­paign with an av­er­age of 21.25 said she is look­ing for­ward to the West In­dies tour to Aus­tralia where they will face off in three One-Day in­ter­na­tion­als and three T20 in­ter­na­tion­als in Bris­bane, Mel­bourne and Syd­ney, re­spec­tive­ly.
