Emelda Noreiga (born 1947) is a former Trinidadian cricketer who represented the Trinidad and Tobago women's national cricket team.[1]
A wicket-keeper and middle order batsman, Noreiga played in four women's One Day Internationals at the inaugural Women's Cricket World Cup in 1973 in England.[2] Playing in matches against New Zealand,[3] Australia,[4] Jamaica[5] and Young England,[6] she was replaced as wicket-keeper by Merlyn Edwards in Trinidad and Tobago's final two matches of tournament against the International XI[7] and England.[8]
Prior to the World Cup in February 1971, Noreiga played in both Hayward Shield matches for Trinidad – a tri-series against England and Jamaica with Trinidad winning both the two-day games and the tournament.[9][10] She also played in a 1-day single innings match for South Trinidad against the same touring English women side. She made nine runs with the bat and stumped Lesley Clifford.[11]
Noreiga played in three further matches for Trinidad and Tobago during the Caribbean Women's Cricket Federation Championships in October 1975 against Barbados, Jamaica and Grenada.[9]
