The Guyana Cricket Board (GCB) on Tuesday announced the final squad ahead of the upcoming Cricket West Indies (CWI) Women’s T20 Blaze tournament, following the conclusion of the CWI Women’s Super50 Cup.

As such, the GCB sought to extend well- wishes to a quartet of new faces that have made the cut for the Senior Women’s T20 team. Those players are Marks, Venezuela, Williams, and Retemiah.
According to Guyana’s cricket governing body, “Their selection reflects the selectors’ confidence in their abilities to perform in the shorter format of the game.”
The GCB further informed that the team continued their preparations under the guidance of the coaching staff and were focused on executing strong performances throughout the competition.
The CWI Women’s T20 Blaze is set to showcase the best of regional talent from Thursday, May 1 to Sunday, May 11, 2025 and according to the GCB, it is confident in the team’s readiness to represent Guyana with pride.
The team will be under the watchful eyes of Coach Tremayne Smartt and her deputy, Clive Grimmond.
