Background
editOn 14 March 2022, Cricket West Indies announced their intention to hold the first Women's Caribbean Premier League, to run alongside the men's tournament, which began in 2013.[1][2] The three teams that would take part in the tournament were announced in March 2022, each aligned with a men's team: Barbados Royals, Guyana Amazon Warriors and Trinbago Knight Riders.[2] On 16 June 2022, the West Indian players playing for each team were confirmed, alongside confirmation that the tournament would take place in Saint Kitts.[3] On 22 June 2022, it was announced that a T10 tournament would precede both the men's and women's tournaments, from 24 to 28 August, known as The 6ixty and involving all of the teams competing in the main tournament.[4] On 16 August 2022, the overseas players playing for each team were confirmed.[5]
