Na­tion­al in­ter­im women's coach Ken­wyne Jones will lead the se­nior team in­to ac­tion in two in­ter­na­tion­al friend­ly match­es against the Do­mini­can Re­pub­lic on No­vem­ber 26 and 30, in the Do­mini­can Re­pub­lic.

Coach Jones, whose con­tract is ex­pect­ed to ex­pire on the day of the sec­ond match, told Guardian Me­dia Sports yes­ter­day that he wants to see some­thing dif­fer­ent from what he saw against the Pana­man­ian na­tion­al team last month.

Jones steered the women's team to two im­pres­sive­ly drawn re­sults 0-0 and 1-1 against the Pana­ma­ni­ans at the Ato Boldon Sta­di­um in Bal­main, Cou­va, al­though the team had not played a com­pet­i­tive match in al­most two years.

His team will be with­out a few key play­ers but Jones who said the team had the ca­pa­bil­i­ty to qual­i­fy for the 2023 FI­FA World Cup, said: "We're go­ing to the Do­mini­can Re­pub­lic to play them in two games. We are card­ed to leave on Mon­day and we play them in two match­es, one on the 26 and one on the 30.

"At this point in time, I don't think the team will ever be at full strength, we're still scout­ing some play­ers. There are still some play­ers that we want to come in­to the squad. As we know, based on their sit­u­a­tion with the col­leges and of course, there are some play­ers we're seek­ing to go through the process to get pass­ports for them, but we have a scout­ing net­work that has been work­ing quite fe­ro­cious­ly.

"Since I've been there so far we have man­aged to find quite a few play­ers, so with that, we're try­ing to get them in the squad."

The for­mer na­tion­al strik­er who has had a stint in­ter­na­tion­al­ly with Stoke City in Eng­land did not say who will be brought in­to the squad but said he hoped they will be brought in very soon. He came in as an in­ter­im coach fol­low­ing the res­ig­na­tion of Amer­i­can Con­stan­tine Kon­stin who ini­tial­ly re­placed Welsh­man James who al­so re­signed on Oc­to­ber 6 to take up an of­fer in the UK.

Jones has said he want­ed the full-time coach­ing job for the women's team, as he be­lieved the play­ers were loaded with tal­ent that on­ly need­ed nur­tur­ing.

Quizzed about the coach­ing job, Jones said he was still func­tion­ing in an in­ter­im po­si­tion.

Guardian Me­dia Sports was told the for­mer strik­er will be favoured for the po­si­tion, es­pe­cial­ly af­ter the de­cent show­ing against the Pana­ma­ni­ans.

Asked if he want­ed to see more than he saw against the Pana­ma­ni­ans, Jones said: "I wouldn't say I want to see more but I want to see some­thing dif­fer­ent. For each block of in­ter­na­tion­al camp that we have or train­ing camp, we're try­ing to im­ple­ment dif­fer­ent as­pects of our com­plete game, struc­ture, phi­los­o­phy.

"This test against the Do­mini­can Re­pub­lic would al­low us the op­por­tu­ni­ty to add some dif­fer­ent philoso­phies with the play­ers we have com­ing in­to the squad. And as we go along, we will con­tin­ue to add as we con­tin­ue to pre­pare for the qual­i­fiers in Feb­ru­ary."

The T&T women's team will be­gin their qual­i­fiers in Feb­ru­ary, play­ing out of Group F along­side Guyana, Nicaragua, Do­mini­ca and Turks and Caicos Is­lands.
