  We have investigated the $qss\bar{q}q$ ($q = u$ or $d$) system to find
possible pentaquark explanations for the $\Xi$ resonances. The bound state
calculation is carried out within the framework of the quark delocalization
color screening model. The scattering processes are also studied to examine the
possible resonance states. The current results indicate that the $\Xi(1950)$
can be interpreted as $\Lambda \bar{K}^*$ state with $J^P = 1/2^-$. Three
states are identified that match the $\Xi(2250)$, which are $\Sigma^*
\bar{K}^*$ state with $J^P = 3/2^-$, $\Sigma^* \bar{K}^*$ state with $J^P
=5/2^-$, and $\Xi^* \rho$ state with $J^P =5/2^-$. This may explain the
conflicting experimental values for the width of the $\Xi(2250)$. A new $\Xi$
resonance is predicted, whose mass and width are 2066--2079 MeV and 186--189
MeV, respectively. These results contribute to understanding the nature of the
$\Xi$ resonances and to the future search for new $\Xi$ resonances. Moreover,
it is meaningful to further investigate the $\Xi$ resonances from an unquenched
picture on the basis of pentaquark investigation.
