T&T women open Blaze campaign against Barbados | Local Sports | trinidadexpress.com

The Trinidad and Tobago women will open their T20 Blaze campaign against Barbados at the Arnos Vale on Thursday from 2:30 p.m.

St Vincent and the Grenadines will host the tournament.

The competition will be played at the Arnos Vale Stadium from May 1-11 and will feature the region’s top female talent in a battle for T20 supremacy.

Defending champions Jamaica, who dominated last year’s tournament, playing unbeaten in their five-games, will be chasing their second successive title.

They will, however, face fierce competition from Barbados, Guyana, newly crowned Super50 champions T&T, the Leeward Islands, and the home team, the Windward Islands.

CWI president, Dr Kishore Shallow said he expected the tournament to be fiercely contested.

“Following a successful Vincy Premier League, it’s great to see the cricket action continue in St Vincent—this time with competitive women’s cricket taking centre stage.

“Playing under the lights at Arnos Vale adds a vibrant atmosphere, and it’s shaping up to be an exciting series featuring some of the best female talent in the region,” Dr Shallow said.

“These kinds of opportunities are important as we continue to build momentum and provide consistent platforms for players to grow and perform.”

The 2025 T20 Blaze comes at a pivotal moment in women’s cricket, with high-profile white-ball series away to England and at home against South Africa on the horizon.

CWI’s Director of Cricket, Miles Bascombe said the tournament would provide the perfect preparation for the upcoming tours.

“The 2025 T20 Blaze Women’s Tournament is another critical platform for developing the exceptional female cricket talent we have across the Caribbean.

“Strategically positioned between our international fixtures against Bangladesh, England, and South Africa, it provides our players with valuable competitive experience in the T20 format,” Bascombe said.
