ST JOHN’S, Antigua – Newly appointed Director of Cricket, Miles Bascombe, said there were “ambitious plans and programs” in the pipeline to invigorate women’s cricket, after overseeing the launch of the inaugural Women’s Cricket Academy.
In a statement Thursday, Cricket West Indies said the academy got underway last month at Coolidge Cricket Ground here, terming the development as “a significant milestone for women’s cricket in the region.”
The regional governing body said the main goal of the academy would be the “nurturing and developing” of talent across the region.
“This move aligns with Cricket West Indies’ commitment to fostering the growth of women’s cricket and investing in the development of players at all levels,” Bascombe said.
“We have ambitious plans and programs lined up to ensure sustained growth in women’s cricket.”
