Jamaica’s Sunshine Girls had a devastating Fast Five tournament in October winning only two of their six games. The team had gone to Australia without their two best players, Romelda Aiken and Fowler-Reid. Aiken is still out but with other veterans returning, better performances are expected.
"Well, we are hoping to improve on our performance from the other tours. We definitely need to improve, so that's the plan," the president said. "I am confident that it's going to be fierce in terms of competition."
