The Caribbean fans are on their way to some unmissable T20 action as the Women’s Caribbean Premier League is on its way. As the tournament is commencing on September 10, teams are sharpening their weapons, aiming for a successful campaign.

Just ahead of the season, the Barbados Royals have faced a massive blow. Captain Hayley Matthews has been ruled out of the entire season due to an unfortunate injury.

Hayley Matthews Misses Out On WCPL 2025

After a long wait, the T20 thrills are back on Caribbean soil as the WCPL has returned with some unmissable cricket thrills. As the tournament is set to go live on September 10, Barbados Royals faced a massive setback. Captain Hayley Mattthews has been ruled out of the tournament due to a shoulder injury. The team suffered a massive blow even before the season started.

The West Indies all-rounder has been dealing with injury blows for a long time now. During the England series, she sustained a shoulder injury and missed the entire season of the Women’s Big Bash league as she opted for surgery.

As she played the Hundred Women’s 2025 after that, the fresh injury blow added another setback in her career. As she is a strong pillar in the Barbados Royals’ side, her absence will be a big setback for the side.

Chinelle Henry To Take The Helm As Team Searches For Replacement

After back-to-back title-winning seasons, the Barbados Royals will feel the absence of Hayley Matthews, who played a pivotal role in their dominance. As she is missing out on the upcoming season, the team showed faith in Chinelle Henry, as she is set to lead the side in the upcoming season. The side will face the Trinbago Knight Riders in the inaugural match on September 10, but Matthews’ replacement is yet to be announced.

Barbados Royals Squad: Chinelle Henry (C), Afy Fletcher, Aaliyah Alleyne, Kycia Knight, Steffie Soogrim, Shamilia Connell, Sheneta Grimmond, Qiana Joseph, Trishan Holder, NaiJanni Cumberbatch, Chamari Athapaththu, Georgia Redmayne, Courtney Webb, Shreyanka Patil
