Vincentian Jannillea Glasgow has been named by the Cricket West Indies (CWI) selection panel in a 30-member women’s squad for an estimated month-long West Indies high-performance camp, which started last Sunday in Antigua.

Glasgow, 16, a right-arm medium-fast bowler and a handy batter, is among eight faces who were not part of the first camp which was held in January of this year.

The others are Zaida James (St Lucia), Rashada Williams (Jamaica), Caneisha Isaac (Guyana), Shanika Bruce and Kycia Knights (Barbados), Mandy Mangru (Guyana) and Rachel Vincent (Trinidad and Tobago).

Afy Fletcher and Natasha Mc Clean, who were part of the first camp, are not in the second, while Knights returns to the West Indies set up after a lay off because of injury.

Meanwhile, Glasgow joins fellow Vincentian Japhina Joseph, who is also in the squad. Joseph was part of the first camp.
