Deandra Dottin Returns To West Indies Squad For Women’s T20 World Cup
Sharjah Cricket Association Stadium: Big-hitting all-rounder Deandra Dottin returned to the West Indies squad for the upcoming Women's T20 World Cup, starting on October 3 in the UAE. Deandra holds the distinction of being the first woman to score a century in T20Is during a 2010 T20 World Cup game against South Africa.
But in August 2022, Deandra made an abrupt decision to quit playing for the West Indies while leading Barbados in the women’s T20 event at the Commonwealth Games in Birmingham, citing a ‘non-conducive’ environment within the national team set-up.
In July this year, Deandra came out of international retirement with an eye to play this year’s T20 World Cup, coming as a huge boost for West Indies, the 2016 champions. Nerissa Crafton is the only uncapped player in the 15-member West Indies team, captained by all-rounder Hayley Matthews, with head coach Shane Deitz citing her performances in regional cricket and her approach to the game really fitting into the play the side plays T20Is.
