Fast bowler Shamilia Connell and middle-order batter Rashada Williams are the two absentees from West Indies’ last assignment, the tour of India. West Indies will continue to be without veteran allrounder Stafanie Taylor, who is still recovering from a knee injury, a CWI release said.
Fraser has played a total of 12 ODIs, with her last appearance in the format in October 2023 against Australia. Her last international appearance, though, was against Sri Lanka in a T20I in Hambantota in June last year. Glasgow has played four T20Is, the last of them against Pakistan in Karachi in May 2024. Though she has been travelling with the West Indies ODI squad on and off since 2023, Glasgow hasn’t got an opportunity in the format yet.
“We have been focusing on specific areas of improvement in our training and touring, and these matches will help us gauge our progress. The conditions at Warner Park will challenge both teams and make for compelling cricket. I’m looking forward to seeing how some of our younger and less-experienced players respond to the test.”
However, West Indies will be aware that they are coming off two consecutive ODI series defeats, against India and Sri Lanka, and will be keen to end the six-match losing run when they take on Bangladesh.
