Guernsey's women's cricket team will make their return to international play in Romania this August, participating in the Women's Continental Cricket Cup. This event marks the first time the island side has competed on the international stage since 2024.
The tournament will feature T20 matches where Guernsey will face the host nation, Romania. They are also scheduled to play against Norway, the Czech Republic, and Malta. This comes after a year where Guernsey played only one match, a significant loss to rivals Jersey.
Head coach Ilze Van Der Westhuizen expressed enthusiasm for the opportunity. She noted the establishment of the Women's Super League last year as a crucial development for Guernsey Cricket, fostering greater depth, competitiveness, and consistency within the local women's game. The league provides a robust domestic platform for selecting the national squad, making this tournament a vital test.
