West In­dies women's team ar­rived in St Kitts to­day (Tues­day) ahead of the CG Unit­ed One Day In­ter­na­tion­al (ODI) and Twen­ty20 In­ter­na­tion­al (T20I) se­ries ver­sus Bangladesh.

The Ma­roon War­riors will take on Bangladesh in three One-Day In­ter­na­tion­als and three T20 In­ter­na­tion­als, from Sun­day (Jan­u­ary 19) to Jan­u­ary 31, 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.

West In­dies Women,who will be led by Hay­ley Matthews with She­maine Camp­belle as vice-cap­tain, are still in the hunt for qual­i­fi­ca­tion to the 2025 ODI World Cup.

The re­gion­al side cur­rent­ly sits ninth with 14 points while Bangladesh are in sev­enth spot in the stand­ings with 19 points, just out­side the au­to­mat­ic qual­i­fi­ca­tion zone.

The Caribbean squad rep­re­sents a blend of sea­soned cam­paign­ers and ea­ger new­com­ers. While Stafanie Tay­lor is still re­cov­er­ing from a knee in­jury, Jan­nil­lea Glas­gow and Cher­ry Ann Fras­er, who re­cent­ly had suc­cess­ful stints in state crick­et in Tas­ma­nia, were in­clud­ed in the 15-mem­ber squad.

The ODI match­es are set to take place on Sun­day, Tues­day and next Thurs­day, fol­lowed by three T20Is, sched­uled for Jan­u­ary 27, 29, and 31.

West In­dies Women, coached by Shane Deitz, will be hop­ing to bounce back from their dis­ap­point­ing tour of In­dia.

The re­gion­al team lost the T20I se­ries 2-1 and were then swept 3-0 in the fol­low­ing ODI se­ries, last month.
