CWI Awards Historic Multi-Year Contracts to Top Men’s and Women’s Cricketers, Including Saint Lucians Qiana Joseph and Zaida James

Cricket West Indies (CWI) has awarded multi-year contracts for the first time to several of its top Men’s and Women’s players for the next two years.
Out of the 15 women cricketers contracted, two Saint Lucian senior women cricketers currently with the West Indies team in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) for the ICC T20 World Cup, Qiana Joseph, and the reigning Junor Sportswoman for the Year, Zaida James were awarded one-year international contracts.
According to CWI, this historical achievement comes on the back of a new four-year Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) signed in January 2024 between CWI and the West Indies Players Association (WIPA).
Fifteen Senior Men’s players have been contracted, with six of those players being offered multi-year contracts based on their performances during the 2023-2024 Evaluation Period.
Meanwhile, of the 15 Senior Women’s players contracted, three were awarded multi-year contracts: Shemaine Campbelle, Hayley Matthews, and Stafanie Taylor
