Cricket West Indies (CWI) today named Courtney Walsh as the new Head Coach of the West Indies Women\u2019s team.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

The West Indies cricket legend will lead the preparation and development of the Women\u2019s Team at least up until the end of 2022, including competing in the next International Cricket Council (ICC) Women\u2019s Cricket World Cup (50 overs) and ICC Women\u2019s T20 World Cup.<\/p>\n

The former world-renowned fast bowler has served as an assistant coach with the Bangladesh Men\u2019s team, and subsequently worked on a short term contract with the West Indies Women\u2019s team, including at the ICC Women\u2019s Cricket World Cup 2020 held in Australia earlier this year.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

Walsh is the leading wicket-taker in West Indies Test history with 519 wickets in 132 Test matches. A former Jamaica and West Indies captain, he took 227 wickets in One-Day Internationals, and also took 1807 wickets in 429 first-class matches. The 57-year-old is a member of the ICC Hall of Fame.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Speaking on his appointment Walsh said: \u201cThis is indeed an honour to be named as the new Head Coach. It\u2019s an exciting challenge and I\u2019ve always wanted to give back in any way I can and help with the development of the game in the West Indies. The experience I have, my knowledge of the game, and my overall organisational skills will be key aspects as we try to develop a winning team culture. I worked with the team at the Women\u2019s T20 World Cup earlier this year in Australia and in the series against India in the Caribbean last year, so I have a very good understanding of what is required. The ability and the talent are there, we have some fantastic players in the West Indies, and it will be my duty and focus to help the women to develop their talents and achieve the goals we are going to be setting together.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Jimmy Adams, CWI\u2019s Director of Cricket said: \u201cI am delighted to have Courtney leading our international women’s programme having successfully come through CWI\u2019s recruitment process. He will be overseeing the programme initially until the end of the next two ICC Women’s World Cups in 2022 and he will be pivotal in working with CWI\u2019s High Performance Team to move our whole women\u2019s programme forward, as part of our wider strategic plan which has Women\u2019s cricket as a key priority.\u201d<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div><\/blockquote>\n
\n

Since retiring from the game, Walsh has held several posts within CWI cricket set-up. He was a member of West Indies\u2019 senior selection panel from 2013 to 2016 and was part of the panel which selected the squad that won the ICC Women\u2019s T20 World Cup in India.<\/p>\n

He has also been Team Manager for the West Indies Under-19 and Under-15 teams and has served as a Director of the Jamaica Cricket Association. He has also been a Bowling Mentor for the Jamaica Tallawahs and Bowling Coach for St Kitts & Nevis Patriots in the Caribbean Premier League (CPL).<\/p>
