The Women’s Caribbean Premier League (WCPL) 2025 has come off, its fourth staging and first time in Guyana. Between September 6 and 17, the Providence Stadium will play home to three teams – Barbados Royals, Trinbago Knight Riders, and Guyana Amazon Warriors – as they fight for T20 supremacy in the region.
The competition, which has become increasingly respected as a feeder for international women’s leagues, boasts a number of star cricketers, including a robust Indian contingent. Still, the tournament will lack one of its largest icons, Hayley Matthews, who is recovering from shoulder surgery.
