The Guyana Amazon Warriors Women have stacked their side with 6 Regional players during the Massy Women’s CPL Draft on Tuesday morning. The other women’s teams: Trinbago Knight Riders and Barbados Royals, have also completed their sides for this season.
The Massy Women’s Caribbean Premier League (CPL) teams are locked and loaded ahead of the 2024 season. This is as a result of the players’ draft which was conducted virtually on Tuesday morning.
Local franchise the Guyana Amazon Warriors (GAW) have added six regional players to their line-up, which is already stacked with the likes of Stafanie Taylor, Australia’s Erin Burns and South Africa’s Chloe Tryon.
Amazon Warriors Manager Leon Johnson made the announcements, which saw Sheneta Grimmond being drafted in the 6th Round, Ashmini Munisar in the 7th Round, Kate Wilmott in the 8th Round, Kaysia Schultz in the 9th Round, Nyia Latchman in the 10th Round, and Realeanna Grimmond in the 11th Round.

Meanwhile Karishma Ramharack, speaking of the previous season and the team’s intent for the upcoming one, has said,
“Obviously we were gutted not to win the final, after not making it the previous year. So, I feel like it was a big thing making it to the final for us. I said it last year when we got there, and I’ll say it again: I feel like it’s a massive thing for the team, and we’re looking forward for that again this year.”
The bowler went on to add, “I guess it’s only us to get that title now. I feel like, TKR won it, Barbados won it, so, it’s up to us now; it’s our time. I believe it’s our time to win this title.”

The other two teams in the competition have also seized the opportunity to boost their rosters. Reigning champions Barbados Royals have drafted two players who were with their squad in 2023: wicket-keeper Rashada Williams and batter Trishan Holder; while also welcoming Shabika Gajnabi, Cherry Ann Fraser and Djenaba Joseph, who were all with the Guyana Amazon Warriors last year.
Local all-rounder Naijanni Cumberbatch has also been drafted to the Royals.
Kyshona Knight, Anisa Mohammed and Shunelle Sawh would all return to the Trinbago Knight Riders’ camp after being drafted again, with Jannillea Glasgow and Chedean Nation, who were with the Royals in 2023, being the newcomers to that squad.

The Massy WCPL will bowl off on Wednesday, August 21, with a rematch of last year’s final between the Guyana Amazon Warriors and the Barbados Royals Women at the Brian Lara Cricket Academy in Trinidad and Toba
