PORTS: Cricket West Indies (CWI) has confirmed the West Indies Men’s and Women’s centrally contracted players for the upcoming 2023 to 2024 season.

Saint Lucian cricketer, Zaida James, is among those receiving contracts for the next season. The contracts are offered based on player performances during the 2022 to 2023 evaluation period following recommendations from the Selection Panels and approval by the Board of Directors.

The selectors have identified a cadre of players who we believe can drive West Indies cricket forward. We have emphasized the development of the younger players, which we view as pivotal in the pathway to the international level. We have several high-profile bilateral series and major global events on the horizon and with this in mind, we want to have our players prepared and ready for every occasion,” West Indies Women’s Lead Selector, Ann Browne-John said.

The West Indies have recently enjoyed double victories in their matches against England in the T20 International Series.
