ST JOHN’S, Antigua (CMC):

CRICKET WEST Indies (CWI) has announced the highly anticipated return of the CG United Women’s Super50 Cup, bringing top-tier regional women’s cricket back to St Kitts. The tournament, set to showcase the Caribbean’s finest female cricketers, promises thrilling matches and fierce competition as teams vie for glory.

The 2025 edition of the prestigious CG United Super50 Cup will take place from February 24 to March 7, with matches scheduled daily at 10 a.m. across three premier venues, the iconic Warner Park, the Conaree Cricket Centre, and the St Paul’s Sports Complex.

Defending champions Jamaica will face stiff competition from a star-studded line-up including Barbados, Trinidad & Tobago Red Force, Guyana, Windward Islands, and hosts Leeward Islands. This year’s tournament holds special significance, as it serves as a critical preparation phase for the West Indies Women’s team, who are gearing up for a landmark year in international cricket. The event follows the West Indies Women’s recent dominant performances in both the ODI and T20I series against Bangladesh, held in St Kitts last month. With an intense international calendar on the horizon, including the upcoming ODI World Cup, the Super50 Cup provides an ideal platform for players to fine-tune their skills and stake their claim for national selection.

CWI Director of Cricket Miles Bascombe shared his enthusiasm for the tournament.

“We are thrilled to launch this year’s CG United Women’s Super50 Cup. This tournament is not just about competition, it’s a celebration of the remarkable progress we’ve made in women’s cricket across the Caribbean. The talent emerging from every corner of the region is extraordinary, and witnessing these players in action is going to be a treat for fans.”

Bascombe added, “With international tours and the ODI World Cup on the horizon, there’s no better time to showcase the strength and depth of West Indies women’s cricket. We’re especially excited for the fans in St Kitts to experience the rising stars of Caribbean cricket firsthand. The future of women’s cricket in the region has never looked brighter.”
