Hayley Mathews remains the captain with Shemaine Campbelle as her deputy. West Indies Women will be eager to show improvements against Ireland Women, as it has been 19 months since their last bilateral ODI series victory.
Ireland Women’s last ODI series ended in a defeat against Pakistan Women. The selection committee has shown faith in the players by making minimal changes to the squad.
