A Saint Lucian, Emmanuel represented the West Indies at the 1997 World Cup in India, appearing in all but one of her team's games.[1] However, she only kept wicket against New Zealand,[2] instead playing as a specialist opening batsman in her other two appearances (against India and Denmark).[3][4] Emmanuel continued playing for Saint Lucia for several years after her World Cup appearances. However, she never returned to the West Indian team.[5] Emmanuel later emigrated to the United States, where she maintained her involvement with cricket. As one of the most experienced players in the country, she was appointed captain of the U.S. national team for the 2009 Americas Championship, its first international tournament. She was one of two former West Indies internationals in the team, the other being Candacy Atkins and Doris Francis.[6]
