Sri Lankan women take on TT today

The Trinidad and Tobago women’s cricket team will come up against Sri Lanka in a 50-overs match today at the Wilson Road Recreation Ground in Penal from 10 am.

The match will serve as a warm-up for the visiting Sri Lankans who are due to meet the West Indies in two limited overs internationals tomorrow and Tuesday. The TT team is led by Brenda Solozano-Rodney and will include West Indies players Shane DeSilva and Nelly Williams.
