ODI Series Against Zimbabwe Marks Heli Matthews' Return to West Indies Captaincy

After a victorious series in Ireland, the West Indies Women return to the spotlight with an ODI series against Zimbabwe. Heli Matthews, who last captained the side in the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup, will resume command for the three‑match ODI block.

Matthews will step down after the ODIs to attend to personal commitments, meaning the West Indies will take the field with 14 members for the October T20 matches. No interim captain has been publicly confirmed, leaving room for speculation about who will assume leadership duties.

The squad list includes seasoned campaigners Alia Elin, Shemen Campbell, and Rhiannian Grimond, alongside newcomers Ebony Breathwater and returning bowler Chinelle Henry. The itinerary mirrors the ICC Women’s Championship schedule, with the ODIs forming a crucial contribution toward qualification points.
