West Indies spinner Karishma Ramharack was the selected to the 12-member Upstox Most Valuable 2023 ICC Women’s T20 World Cup Team of the Tournament that was released on Monday.

The Trinidadian finger spinner took five wickets for the West Indies in three matches conceding just 50 runs from the 12 overs she bowled. Her bowling average of 10 was the third best of the tournament and her economy rate was of 4.16 was also among the best.

“It may not have been a tournament to remember for a West Indies side, though Ramharack's crafty finger spin was a positive to take out of the campaign,” said the ICC selectors.

“The 28-year-old took five wickets in three outings, at a miserly rate of 4.16 runs per over. Her 1-18 (4) against Pakistan was astonishingly her worst spell of the three outings, also picking up 2-14 against India and 2-18 against Ireland.

The West Indies Women failed to advance to the semi-finals after winning just two matches and finishing third in Group 1 that also included England, India, Ireland and Pakistan.

Australia had four players in the team of the tournament – Alyssa Healy, Ash Gardener, Darcie Brown and Megan Schutt. South Africa’s Tazmin Brits, Laura Wolvhaardt and Shabnin Ismail were also selected among the 12.

Also included were Ireland’s Orla Prendergast, India’s Richa Ghosh and the England duo of Sophie Eccelstone and Nat Sciver-Brunt, who was named captain.
