President of the West Indies Cricket Board (WICB) Dave Cameron says he hopes West Indies Women’s sweeping victory over Pakistan would inspire more young women in the region to take up the sport.
Cameron has showered praises on the team following its series victory in their One-day International Home Series against Pakistan Women in St Lucia.
The Windies Women, under the leadership of newly-minted captain Stafanie Taylor and the guidance of head coach Vasbert Drakes, clinched the four-match series 3-1, winning all three matches that counted towards the ICC Women’s Championship.
“We want to acknowledge the achievements of all of the players that were the result of hard work and determination, and the contribution of the support staff who displayed keen awareness in order to promote the drive for excellence,” declared Cameron in a WICB statement issued Monday.
“We hope that the achievements of the team will encourage more young ladies to consider and take up the game in St Lucia and across the rest of the Caribbean.”
After losing the opening match in the series by six wickets, the home team won the second ODI by three wickets and then took the third match by 109 runs.
They won the final ODI by six wickets to sweep all three ICC Women’s Championship matches.
