The Guyanese left-arm spinner has disclosed that she is excited at being included in a senior Windies Women’s training camp.
Prior to selection of the final 13-member squad, the Windies Women were engaged in a training camp in Antigua. With Shemaine Campbelle sustaining an injury, the remaining Guyanese women in the camp were Sheneta Grimmond, Kysia Schultz and Shabika Gajnabi.
Gajnabi, who hails from Chesney, Corentyne, East Berbice, was the lone Guyanese selected in the ODI squad to face Australia.
Left-arm spinner Kysia Schultz spoke to veteran spinner Anisa Mohammed on the experience she had gained at the training camp thus far.
“It is a joyful feeling for me! (It is) one of the biggest achievements I have accomplished for me thus far,” Schultz described the experience.
She added that she has benefited a lot from the senior players in the Windies Women’s team. “It is good to gain a lot of experience from them on and off the field. I am comfortable,” she explained.
Schultz explained that she sees herself playing for the West Indies Women in the future. “It is something serious, and it calls for a lot of hard work, but one day I see myself playing”, Schultz declared.
Having played for the Guyana Senior Women’s Team and the Guyana Under-19 Team, Schultz described this training camp as being more intense. “At the Regional level it is just basic, but this level is more intense”, Schultz has said.
This is the second camp in which this young spinner Kysia Schultz has been involved for the West Indies Women team. She is being placed on reserve for the Aussie tour to the Caribbean. She said she has seen a lot of improvement in her game.
“I am thankful for the experience, and (I am) confident” Schultz declared.
With the next West Indies Women’s camp set for October 1, Schultz has said she would return home and work on her game, especially her batting. “Being a reserve player is a step further, and when I return, it’s a follow-up for me from the things I left off,” Schultz has declared. (Brandon Corlette)
