West Indies women will host Bangladesh for a white-ball tour starting on January 19th, 2025.

The teams will play three ODIs and three T20Is at Warner Park in St Kitts.

The ODIs, in particular, have been highlighted by CWI Director Cricket Miles Bascombe, as it is crucial in securing automatic qualification for the World Cup.

West Indies are ninth in the ICC Women’s Championship from which the top six make the World Cup automatically and the remainder go to a qualifier tournament.

The 2025 Women’s World Cup will be held in August and September this year in India.
