Cricket West Indies (CWI) initiated a talent development pathway for female cricketers through the 2026 Rising Stars Women’s Under-19 Championship. Held in Antigua from August 8 to August 15, the T20 tournament featured six regional teams, including Barbados, Jamaica, and Guyana, and was designed to identify talent for the 2027 ICC Under-19 Women’s T20 World Cup.

Following the championship, CWI transitioned players into a two-week high-performance camp in Antigua running from August 17 to August 29. The camp convened 22 players from various regional teams to focus on technical, tactical, physical, and mental development. High-performance manager Dwain Gill noted that the immediate transition from regional competition to this intensive environment was intended to build on player potential for international progression.
