Pakistan A Women in West Indies 2021/22

The meeting between **Pakistan A Women** and **West Indies A Women** is not a single, unified **competition** with a founding date, pyramid status, or permanent trophy. Instead, it refers to a series of ad-hoc bilateral development tours and tri-nation tournaments organized by the **Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB)** and **Cricket West Indies (CWI)**. These fixtures are classified as unofficial matches; they do not carry full international status (ODI or T20I), do not count towards **ICC** rankings, and serve primarily as a high-performance pathway for emerging players to gain international experience before senior selection.

The **West Indies Women A** team was formally established in 2021, making its debut during a tour to Antigua against Pakistan Women A. This was described by **Cricket West Indies** as the region's first-ever 'A' team series. The Pakistan Women A team has been active slightly earlier, with recorded tours dating back to 2015 (e.g., a tour of Sri Lanka). There is no official promotion or relegation system linking these A-teams to the senior national squads; selection is based on merit and domestic performance (such as the Regional Super50 in the West Indies) rather than A-team results.

Key historical encounters include: 1. July 2021 (Antigua): Pakistan A Women swept the West Indies A Women 3-0 in both ODI and T20 bilateral series. 2. October-November 2023 (Lahore): The West Indies A Women toured Pakistan. In the 3-match ODI series, West Indies A won 2-1. This was followed by a Tri-Nation T20 Series involving Pakistan A, West Indies A, and Thailand Women Emerging. Pakistan A Women won the T20 tri-series, defeating West Indies A in the final.

There is no permanent trophy or recurring named competition for this fixture; any trophies presented (such as for the 2023 ODI series) are specific to that single tour. The 'competition' is thus a collection of bilateral and multi-team developmental fixtures rather than a league with a structured pyramid, promotion, or long-term history.
