WCPL Player Draft: Guyana sign Lauren Winfield-Hill to complete their overseas lot

Guyana Amazon Warriors filled the last overseas slot in their squad by picking the England wicketkeeper-batter Lauren Winfield-Hill in the player draft for the 2024 Women’s Caribbean Premier League (WCPL). 

All three teams had announced their new signings and retentions well in advance before the player drafts. Guyana was the only side left with an overseas spot. They also drafted in the former West Indies Under-19 captain Ashmini Munisar, offspinner Sheneta Grimmond, allrounder Realeanna Grimmond, left-arm spinner Kaysia Schultz, Nyia Latchman and the Jamaican seamer Kate Wilmott.

Trinbago Knight Riders picked the retired West Indies’ players Kyshona Knight, and the off-spinner Anisa Mohammed alongside the young wicketkeeper Shunelle Sawh from their last year’s squad. Batters Jannillea Glasgow and Chedean Nation will make the move from Barbados to Trinbago.

The defending champions Barbados Royals brought back the wicketkeeper Rashada Williams and batter Trishan Holder from their squad of the previous season. They also drafted in the seam-bowling allrounder Shabika Gajnabi, seamer Cherry Ann Fraser and batter Djenaba Joseph. All three of them featured for Guyana last season. 

The third edition of the WCPL will be held at the Brian Lara Cricket Academy from August 21 to August 29.
