Cricket West Indies president, Dave Cameron, said West Indies women remained a source of pride for the region, despite their failure to successfully defend their ICC Twenty20 World Cup title.<\/p>

West Indies played unbeaten on the preliminary round but were eliminated at the semi-final stage when they suffered a heavy 71-run defeat to eventual champions Australia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDespite the Windies Women\u2019s loss in the semi-finals, we are extremely proud of the way the women displayed strength of character and were a joy to watch in the field for every single game,\u201d Cameron said.<\/p>

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

\u201cFrom all the feedback I have received, the entire Caribbean is proud of the ladies.\u201d<\/p>

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

Australia captured their fourth title when they beat England by eight wickets in last Saturday\u2019s final at the Vivian Richards Cricket Stadium here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The tournament, the first ICC stand-alone women\u2019s T20 event, was marked by large attendances, especially for the Windies games. The hosts\u2019 final preliminary match against England in Gros Islet attracted in excess of 10 000 while their semi-final was a sell-out.<\/p>

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

Overall, the tournament was smoothly executed, drawing praise on Sunday from the ICC chief executive, Dave Richardson.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And Cameron also took note of the efficient manner in which the event had been run by the Local Organising Committee.<\/p>

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

\u201cWe have shown the world our abilities as a cricketing destination on and off the field of play,\u201d said the Windies cricket chief.
<\/p>

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

\u201cOn behalf of the entire CWI Team, I want to congratulate all the people (operations, technical, marketing, commercial, facilities, security) who participated in the championship, making it the success it has turned out to be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe also acknowledge and accept the praises from the International Cricket Council (ICC).\u201d<\/p>\n
