The Massy Women’s Caribbean Premier League (WCPL) 2025 squads have been officially confirmed following the successful completion of the player draft. Each of the six franchises will feature a 15-player squad, comprising four overseas stars and 11 local talents, all gearing up for an exciting season of women’s T20 cricket in the Caribbean.
barbados royals aim for historic three-peat
Defending champions Barbados Royals are aiming for a historic third consecutive title under the leadership of world number one all-rounder Hayley Matthews, who has captained the team to two WCPL titles. The Royals retain a strong Caribbean core with the return of Chinelle Henry, Afy Fletcher, and Aaliyah Alleyne, and welcome Kycia Knight back to her home franchise for the first time.
On the overseas front, the Royals are strengthened by the return of Australian wicket-keeper Georgia Redmayne and Sri Lankan opener Chamari Athapaththu, both crucial to last season’s success. Joining them are Indian off-spinner Shreyanka Patil, who shifts from the Guyana Amazon Warriors, and Australian multi-sport athlete Courtney Webb, bringing versatility to the squad.
trinbago knight riders set sights on redemption
After finishing as runners-up in 2024, the Trinbago Knight Riders are determined to reclaim the title they last held in 2022. Veteran Deandra Dottin remains the team’s cornerstone, supported by an exciting group of young talent including Jahzara Claxton, Zaida James, Jannillea Glasgow, and Samara Ramnath, all 21 years old or younger.
The team has complemented youth with experience, drafting players like Shabika Gajnabi, Rashada Williams, and Abigail Bryce. Their overseas lineup is headlined by Australian all-rounder Jess Jonassen, returning Indian pacer Shikha Pandey, and South African power-hitter Lizelle Lee, who will make her WCPL debut. Rising leg-spinner Salonee Dangore also joins the squad, adding depth to the bowling unit.

The team retains a wealth of experience with stalwarts like Stafanie Taylor, Karishma Ramharack, and Shermaine Campbelle anchoring the squad.
The Warriors have a strong local presence with seven Guyanese players in the lineup. They welcome back English World Cup winner Lauren Winfield-Hill and South African speedster Shabnim Ismail, who returns for her third season. The squad also adds Laura Harris, a key contributor to the Royals’ 2023 and 2024 triumphs, and Australian leg-spinning all-rounder Madeline Penna, who brings dynamic balance to the team.
