The tour of Europe is a key component to the team’s preparation for the International Cricket Council’s (ICC), Women’s World Cup in Australia early next year.
The team is also slated to participate in the ICC World Twenty/Twenty in England in June 2009.
Experienced left-hander Nadine George, who was the first West Indian to make a century in women’s Test cricket, has been named as captain.
