Shane Brooks, head coach of Jamaica’s senior women’s cricket team, has hailed the launch of the Jamaica Empress franchise as a landmark moment for women’s cricket in the region, following Monday's official unveiling of the re-engineered 2026 Women’s Caribbean Premier League (WCPL).
The Empress will be one of four franchises competing in a completely rebooted WCPL, set to take place entirely in Barbados over 10 days, from September 1–14.
Joining Jamaica are the Barbados Tridents, Guyana Amazon Warriors, and Trinbago Knight Riders.
