Star Allrounders Tryon and Burns Bolster Amazon Warriors for Women’s CPL 2024

The Guyana Amazon Warriors have made significant additions to their squad ahead of the 2024 Women’s Caribbean Premier League (WCPL). South African allrounder Chloe Tryon and Australian allrounder Erin Burns have joined the team, strengthening their chances for the upcoming season.

Stafanie Taylor, who led the Amazon Warriors to the tournament final last season, remains a key player alongside retained teammates Shabnim Ismail, Karishma Ramharack, Shemaine Campbelle, Natasha McClean, and Shakera Selman.

The Amazon Warriors are in the process of completing their 15-member squad. They need seven more players, six of whom will be selected in the WCPL draft scheduled for July. The final overseas player will be confirmed before the season starts.

Chloe Tryon brings a wealth of experience, having played 98 T20Is for South Africa, scoring 1,136 runs and taking 35 wickets. Currently touring India with the national team, Tryon is expected to be a pivotal player for the Warriors. Erin Burns, with extensive experience in 162 T20s, including stints with Sydney Sixers and Hobart Hurricanes in the Women’s Big Bash League, adds depth to the squad. Burns has amassed 2,429 runs and claimed 80 wickets, and was part of the Barbados Royals’ championship-winning team last year.

The 2024 WCPL will take place in Trinidad from August 21 to 29, with all seven matches hosted at the Brian Lara Cricket Academy. Now in its third season, the tournament will feature the Trinbago Knight Riders, Amazon Warriors, and Royals.
