The
three
teams
will
be
captained
by
Hayley
Matthews
(Barbados
Royals),
Stafanie
Taylor
(Guyana
Amazon
Warriors)
and
Deandra
Dottin
(Trinbago
Knight
Riders).
With
Matthews
and
Taylor
rated
in
the
top
10
T20
all-rounders
in
the
world
and
Dottin
one
of
the
most
destructive
batters
in
the
women’s
game,
all
three
players
have
shown
their
quality
for
the
West
Indies
and
in
domestic
competitions
around
the
globe.
The
teams
have
been
drafted
from
a
pool
of
players
that
was
put
together
by
Cricket
West
Indies’
selection
committee
and
the
33
cricketers
picked
represent
the
best
talent
from
across
the
region
with
the
squads
full
of
experienced
internationals
as
well
as
the
next
generation
of
female
players.
Each
team
will
also
sign
three
exciting
overseas
players
bringing
the
total
squad
size
to
14
and
further
bolstering
the
quality
of
cricketers
on
show
in
this
exciting
new
event.
These
overseas
signings
will
be
announced
in
the
coming
weeks.
Ricky
Skerritt,
Cricket
West
Indies
President,
said:
“This
inaugural
Women’s
version
of
the
CPL
represents
a
huge
upward
step
for
West
Indies
cricket.
I
am
grateful
to
all
those
in
CPL
and
CWI
who
made
it
happen,
especially
the
three
pioneering
franchises
who
have
so
willingly
got
on
board.”
Jake
Lush
McCrum,
CEO,
Barbados
Royals
and
Rajasthan
Royals,
said:
“The
Caribbean
and
particularly
Barbados
is
a
destination
which
has
always
been
so
deeply
invested
in
cricket,
and
to
have
a
team
in
the
region
which
will
serve
as
a
pillar
of
growth
for
the
women’s
game
in
and
around
the
island
nation,
was
such
an
exciting
opportunity
for
us
at
the
Barbados
Royals.
Having
attracted
huge
popularity,
not
just
in
the
Caribbean,
but
also
in
cricket-playing
nations
around
the
world,
the
CPL
has
been
able
to
realise
its
value
and
also
the
impact
it
can
create
on
grassroots
development.
With
this
new
competition
for
women,
it
gives
us
the
opportunity
to
accelerate
the
growth
and
development
of
female
players
and
coaches,
while
attracting
the
next
generation
of
talent
to
the
sport.”
Dr
Bobby
Ramroop,
owner
of
the
Guyana
Amazon
Warriors,
said,
“We
are
thrilled
to
be
a
part
of
the
inaugural
Women’s
CPL
and
we
would
like
to
thank
CPL
and
CWI
for
making
this
happen.
The
Guyana
Amazon
Warriors
(GAW)
family
is
excited
to
be
at
the
forefront
of
advancing
Women’s
cricket,
both
in
the
region
and
worldwide,
and
we
are
hopeful
that
this
newest
format
will
provide
a
platform
for
empowering
female
athletes,
as
well
as
highlighting
inspiring
role
models
for
young
girls.
The
dynamic
GAW
Women’s
team,
led
by
the
impressive
Stafanie
Taylor,
is
a
welcome
and
powerful
addition
to
the
CPL.”

Women’s

the
next
logical
step
as
we
grow
the
brand,
and
we
are
very
pleased
that
we
have
been
able
to
make
this
a
reality
in
2022.
