\nCricket West Indies (CWI) women\u2019s selection panel today named a 15-member squad and three reserves for the three-match One Day International (ODI) series against the Pakistan women\u2019s squad and the ICC Women\u2019s Cricket World Cup Qualifier 2021 in Zimbabwe.
\nAccording to a statement issued by CWI, three players will also be travelling with the squads as reserves.
\nThe touring squad sees a return for Shemaine Campbelle who missed the home series against Pakistan and South Africa due to injury.
\nCampbelle impressed the selectors and coaches in the lone practice match before departure, by striking a century in 107 deliveries, which included 12 fours and a six.
\nAlso returning to the squad is captain Stafanie Taylor, who missed the recent series against South Africa in Antigua.
\nLead Selector Ann Browne-John said: \u201cThe upcoming Pakistan series and World Cup qualifiers are crucial as the team works towards participation in the Cricket World Cup in 2022.\u201d
\n\u201cIt is important to note that Shemaine Campbelle is once again fit and available after being away through injury. She is one of the senior players and has shown herself to be one of the premier wicket-keepers in the world. She scored runs in the practice match since her return,\u201d Browne-John added.
\nThe selector said that the captain, Stafanie Taylor, who missed the South Africa Series is also back which also serves to strengthen both the batting and bowling.
\n\u201cThe squad has a mix of senior and developing players and particular mention must be made of two young players, Qiana Joseph and Rashada Williams, who had very encouraging series against South Africa and hopefully they will go from strength to strength,\u201d she said.
\nThe West Indies women are due to arrive in Pakistan on November 1 for three ODIs from November 8 to 14, scheduled to be played at the National Stadium in Karachi.
\nThe squad will travel directly to Zimbabwe after the ODI Series for the ICC Women\u2019s World Cup Qualifier 2021 from November 21 to December 5.
\nThey will be one of ten teams, along with Pakistan, aiming to secure one of three qualifying places for the ICC Women\u2019s Cricket World Cup in New Zealand in February 2022.
\nThe West Indies women last toured Pakistan in January 2019 for three T20 Internationals in Karachi.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
