The West Indies Women’s cricket team is scheduled to tour England from May 21 to June 7, 2025, for a series of white-ball matches. The tour includes three T20 Internationals (T20Is) and three One-Day Internationals (ODIs), with matches taking place at various venues across England. The squad will be led by captain Hayley Matthews and includes a mix of experienced players and emerging talent.
This tour is notable for running alongside the men’s series between England and the West Indies, highlighting a parallel focus on both men’s and women’s international cricket during the same window.
The West Indies squad features two new inclusions: 20-year-old Guyanese all-rounder Realeanna Grimmond and Kittitian fast bowler Jahzara Claxton. They replaced Rashada Williams and Chinelle Henry, signalling a blend of youth and experience and providing emerging talent with an international platform.
The tour comes immediately after the West Indies Women’s participation in the ICC Women’s Cricket World Cup Qualifiers in Pakistan. This gives the team a chance to regroup, showcase resilience, and build momentum with a refreshed lineup.
The tour is tightly packed into just over two weeks (21 May – 7 June 2025), featuring three T20Is and three ODIs at different venues across England. Such a schedule tests squad depth and adaptability.
Captain Hayley Matthews leads a squad described by Cricket West Indies as eager to “reassert themselves on the international stage” and demonstrate the region’s characteristic “talent, grit, and character.”
For England, the series is part of their 2025 home international season, while for West Indies, it marks a critical opportunity to rebuild and gain confidence after the World Cup Qualifiers, making every match significant for team development and rankings.
