Matthews highlights youth development as team looks beyond semifinal loss

Matthews said the tournament exposed a clear need for match‑winning contributions from a single player, a gap the side must fill. She praised the enthusiasm of the younger squad members, believing they have the potential to shoulder greater responsibility. According to Matthews, pairing the energy of emerging talent with the experience of veterans like Taylor, Dottin and Efi Flacher will accelerate the team’s progress and create a sustainable pipeline for West Indies women’s cricket.
