The two playing squads have been confirmed for the inaugural Women\u2019s Japan Premier League which will launch this weekend.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Following the two-day training camp, which took place at the Sano International Cricket Ground last weekend, the coaches have finalised their playing groups of 14 each with a couple of reserves.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Western Eagles Head Coach Deano Ruhode said: \u201cI\u2019m so excited for this. Of course, I have coached the Japanese players for a year now, and I also know Emmerson Filsell from my time in Adelaide. Seeing these players all come together this weekend has shown right away how the standard is up and we should be in for some great cricket on the weekend.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The Eastern Waves are being coached by Bebe Miyaji who believes that the pride of representing their region of birth has brought a unique flavour to the bond between the players. He said: \u201cUp until now when these players come together, they are just Team Japan, but now people are learning a bit more about players\u2019 background and connecting on a different level. It brings a different pride and excitement to the group.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The full squads are listed below, with the place of birth listed for all players either in the Japan Women\u2019s National Squad or who have played for Japan previously:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
