West Indies women s coach Courtney Walsh seeks improvement against Pakistan
Courtney Walsh -
LACK OF competition and player fitness remain top priorities for West Indies women’s cricket coach Courtney Walsh ahead of the squad’s three-match T20 International series against Pakistan on Wednesday.
The regional squad make a welcome return to the international competitive circuit after an eight-month hiatus from the sport owing to the pandemic. The WI women last competed in England in September 2020.
Heading into the series, Walsh and lead selector Ann Browne-John agreed that the recent training camp allowed the players to get back into some form. According to Walsh, the team will return to their competitive consistency once they get back out in the middle against real opposition.

ST JOHN’S, Antigua The Cricket West Indies (CWI) Selection Panel named 30 players for an estimated month-long West Indies Women’s high-performance camp to be held in Antigua starting on May 2.
This will be the second such month-long camp in 2021 assembled under the guidance of Head Coach Courtney Walsh and his support team.
With the ICC Women’s World Cup Qualifiers now rescheduled for December, Walsh devised a programme to maximise team preparations ahead of international cricket and the qualifiers later in the year.
“The purpose of this camp is to work on consistency and game awareness. The last camp was more observational, and we got a pretty good idea where the ladies are at. There are 30 players coming in and a few of them are coming in nursing injuries, so the coaching staff and medical team are ready to work with all of them,” he said.
