WCPL 2024: Amazon Warriors sign Winfield-Hill; Royals bring back Rashada and Holder

England wicketkeeper-batter Lauren Winfield-Hill has joined Guyana Amazon Warriors for the third edition of Women's Caribbean Premier League (WCPL).

Amazon Warriors have also drafted in former West Indies Under-19 captain Ashmini Munisar , offspinner Sheneta Grimmond, uncapped allrounder Realeanna Grimmond , left-arm spinner Kaysia Schultz and Nyia Latchman along with Jamaican seamer Kate Wilmott .

The three WCPL franchises had done most of their recruiting previously through retentions and pre-signings. Last week, Amazon Warriors had announced the signing of allrounders Chloe Tryon from South Africa and Erin Burns from Australia.

Meanwhile, defending champions Barbados Royals drafted in wicketkeeper Rashada Williams and batter Trishan Holder from their squad of last year and added seam-bowling allrounder Shabika Gajnabi , seamer Cherry Ann Fraser and batter Djenaba Joseph - who were all with Amazon Warriors last year.

Trinbago Knight Riders drafted Kyshona Knight , Anisa Mohammed and young wicketkeeper Shunelle Sawh from their squad of last year. Batters Jannillea Glasgow and Chedean Nation , who were with Royals in WCPL 2023, moved to TKR for the upcoming season.

This year's WCPL will be held in Trinidad from August 21 to 29, with all seven matches to be played at the Brian Lara Cricket Academy.
