He’ll take over as the head coach of the West Indies women’s team later this month. “We have a few new faces from last year’s U19 squad who have been training hard and will give us some fresh energy and excitement. Also for the future, we are creating some quality depth in our squad which is essential in creating a world-class team.
“We then take on Jersey who are a young talented team that we haven’t seen before but will give us great prep for our World Cup qualifier in Spain in September.” The Netherlands’s women’s team head coach Shane Deitz said on developing the bench strength ahead of their World Cup qualifiers in September.
