As per the USA Cricket Media release, USA Cricket Board Member and Women and Girls Committee Chair, Nadia T. Gruny remarked: “This is another step in strengthening our partnership with Cricket West Indies in the development of women’s cricket in the region. In this instance, three of our most talented young cricketers will get the opportunity to experience franchise cricket in the Caribbean with CWI’s league partner – the CPL. The performances of Geetika, Snigdha and Isani in the recently concluded series win over the West Indies U19s fill us with great encouragement that all three of them will perform well in St Kitts. Getting to be around, training and playing with some of the best in the women’s game is a huge opportunity and we are very thankful to everyone at CWI and the CPL for their ongoing support.”
Hero CPL CEO Pete Russell said: “We are really pleased with the quality of international signings for the inaugural Massy WCPL and SKYEXCH 6IXTY tournaments and we look forward to welcoming these players in St Kitts for these two exciting competitions.”
