The ECB have announced the dates for England’s Women’s International Championship ODI series v West Indies this autumn.
The 5-match series will take place in Jamaica in October, at Trelawny Stadium and Sabina Park, with the vital “WIC” points up for grabs in the final 3 games. England currently sit 6th in the Women’s International Championship standings, but with 3 games “in hand” against Pakistan, will hope to have returned to one of the top 4 World Cup qualifying positions by the time October rolls around.
| Date | Match | Venue |
| 8th October | 1st ODI | Trelawny Stadium, Trelawny |
| 10th October | 2nd ODI | Trelawny Stadium, Trelawny |
| 14th October | 3rd ODI * | Sabina Park, Kingston |
| 16th October | 4th ODI * | Sabina Park, Kingston |
| 19th October | 5th ODI * | Sabina Park, Kingston |
Interesting – it’s unusual to have the WIC points matches at the end of the 5-match series rather than at the start. This is the first time this has happened for England I think, it might help us if we have a slow start?

One could hope that ECB demanded it. The NZ tour demonstrated that playing out of season isn’t easy so this makes a heck of a lot of sense.
