The Selection Panel of the West Indies Cricket Board on Monday announced a 13-member West Indies Women’s team for the first three One-day Internationals against England Women and the new addition to the squad was Guyanese Erva Giddings.

The series is scheduled to be contested between October 8 and 19 at the Trelawney Multiplex and Sabina Park in Jamaica.

The last three of the ODIs will count towards the ICC Women’s Championship, a multi-year, bilateral competition between the top eight international women’s sides, which will lead to automatic qualification for the top four teams to next year’s ICC Women’s World Cup to be hosted by the England & Wales Cricket Board.

The WIndies Women are currently second in the standings on 20 points – 10 behind current ODI World champions Australia Women – and one ahead of England Women.

They are due to complete their schedule of ICC Women’s Championship matches in November on the road against India Women.
