BASSETERRE, St. Kitts - CRICKET WEST INDIES (CWI) has announced that Deandra Dottin was named with 20 other players by its Selection Panel for a pre-world cup camp in Antigua to finalise preparations for the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup.
The pre-world cup camp is scheduled from January 6-25, during which the final squad for the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup would be selected before departure to Australia.
The ICC Women’s T20 World Cup will take place between February 21 and March 8.
According to CWI, following a shoulder surgery and a lengthy rehabilitation period, Dottin is now fully recovered, thus her availability for the team.
Captain Stafanie Taylor, who missed the T20 International series against the visiting Indian Women’s team in November, will also be returning, along with bowlers Shamilia Connell and Shakera Selman.
Head Selector of CWI’s Women’s and Girls, Ann Browne-John said: “The panel has selected a squad showing a mix of youth and experience in preparation for the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup. The recently concluded Women’s Franchise Tournament in Trinidad also gave the panel an opportunity to view the players in a T20 setting just prior to the World Cup.”
She added, “Deandra Dottin seemed to return right where she left off before her injury and had remarkable performances from the first match. Shamilia Connell and Shakera Selman are also returning from injury and the panel hopes that by the time the final selection is to be made for the World Cup, all players will be fit and ready.”
