CRICKET WEST INDIES CONDUCTS HIGH PERFORMANCE MEETING WITH SHANE DEITZ, PATHWAY COACHES AND PLAYERS IN ST KITTS

BASSETERRE, St. Kitts – Head Coach of the West Indies Women’s senior team, Shane Deitz, met with regional franchise and pathway coaches, along with players from the franchises and pathway level, at the ongoing CG United Super50 competition in St. Kitts over the weekend.

The seminar is part of Cricket West Indies' strategic plan to develop the women’s game. Thirty-nine (39) players from across the six (6) regional teams attended.

Also present at the meeting were High Performance Manager Dwain Gill, High Performance Officer with responsibility for the Women’s Pathway Program Clint St Hill, and Senior Talent Manager for Women’s Cricket Ann Browne-John.

The players participated in several tutorial sessions focused on enhancing individual development, working with their territorial pathway coaches, and understanding the demands of becoming an elite player at the regional and international levels.

Deitz outlined the importance and focus of the two-hour session with the respective stakeholders.

“It’s really important that everyone gets on the same page, understanding what the senior team is doing so we can filter the philosophies and style of play all the way through all the teams.”

Deitz added that having defined roles for the region’s coaches will play a critical part in the development of the game across the Caribbean.

“This is a vital part of our strategic plan to have the coaches as part of our seminars and meetings so they can start getting together, know each other more, help each other out, and improve cricket in the Caribbean for the girls.”

Following the CG United Women’s Super50 tournament, a camp for Academy and Emerging players will be held in March 2025, with six pathway coaches invited to work with Head Coach Deitz.

Cricket West Indies has contracted fifteen (15) women’s academy players and fourteen (14) franchise players across the six territories to broaden the player pool and fine-tune the skills of emerging talent.
