CWI Celebrates West Indies Women and Inspires the Next Generation
ST. JOHN’S, Antigua — Cricket West Indies (CWI) is inviting women and girls from across Antigua and Barbuda to experience the excitement of international cricket firsthand by offering FREE admission for ladies on ALL five days of the second Test between the West Indies and Sri Lanka at the Sir Vivian Richards Stadium from July 3 – 7.
The initiative forms part of CWI’s ongoing commitment to growing interest in the women’s game and encouraging greater female participation and support throughout the region. It also comes on the heels of the inspiring campaign by the West Indies Women at the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup in England and Wales, where they advanced to the semi-finals and represented the Caribbean with distinction, resilience and pride.
CWI believes there has never been a better time to encourage more women and girls to embrace the sport, not only as players, but as passionate supporters, future administrators, coaches, officials and ambassadors for the game.
said CWI CEO Chris Dehring.
Dehring stated.
The offer provides an ideal opportunity for families, schools, community groups and cricket clubs to attend the five-day contest and support the West Indies Men as they look to secure a home series win against Sri Lanka following their dominating performance over the visitors in the first encounter.
Beyond the action on the field, spectators can enjoy the vibrant match-day atmosphere that has become synonymous with West Indies cricket, making it a memorable outing for cricket lovers and first-time fans alike.
CWI encourages all women and girls to take advantage of this special initiative and be part of an unforgettable week of Test cricket at one of the Caribbean’s historic sporting venues.
