England host West Indies women at Loughborough
Posted on 23/06/08
International cricket comes to Loughborough next month when the University hosts back to back one day international (ODI) fixtures between England women and the West Indies on 11 and 12 July.
The additional matches will provide England with valuable preparation ahead of the Natwest Womens series in August and are being played so West Indies can reach their required quota in order to qualify to play ODIs.
West Indies have already qualified for the ICC womens World Cup to be held in Australia next March and also the inaugural ICC womens World Twenty20 to be held in England in June 2009.
ECB Head of womens cricket, Clare Connor commented: Were really pleased to be able to play these two additional international matches against West Indies. Its great to be able to help them with their qualification, but it also gives England vital preparation for the forthcoming series against South Africa and India.
Playing two more ODIs also stands England in good stead as they prepare for the ICC womens World Cup in Australia in 2009.
The two teams were due to meet in the 2005 World Cup but the rain intervened. The two teams have therefore not met since 1993.
With their integration into the West Indies Cricket Board now complete and with Sherwin Campbell at the helm as head coach, we are keen to see how they have developed.
There is every chance that we may face them at the ICC World Cup in Australia next year or at the ICC World Twenty20 in June here in England; these two ODIs will therefore act as good preparation in case we come up against them at those global tournaments.
