Cricket West Indies (CWI) has confirmed this.
A big news is coming from the West Indies women’s cricket team. Let us tell you that the team’s former veteran all-rounder Deandra Dottin has withdrawn her decision to retire from international cricket.
So Datin’s decision has come at a time when the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup 2024 will be played in Bangladesh a few months from now. Datin’s move can definitely bring an unprecedented change in the West Indies cricket team. Also, the news of Datin withdrawing her retirement has also been confirmed by Cricket West Indies (CWI).
It is worth noting that some time ago, Dattin had announced his retirement very soon. The reason behind this is that he had taken this decision due to his lack of development in the team and his dedication towards the game. But now before the T20 World Cup, he has withdrawn his retirement.
A look at Deandra Dottin’s cricket career
Let us tell you that Deandra Dottin made her debut for the West Indies women’s cricket team against Ireland in 2008. Since then, she has played 143 ODIs and 127 T20 matches for the West Indies women’s cricket team. In ODIs, Dottin has taken 72 wickets apart from scoring 3727 runs, and in T20 cricket, she has taken 62 wickets apart from scoring 2697 runs.
On the other hand, in a letter to Cricket West Indies, Datin said, as quoted by Cricbuzz-
Representing the West Indies in international cricket has always been a matter of great pride and passion for me. After much contemplation, consideration and dialogue with various stakeholders within Cricket West Indies, including Cricket West Indies President Dr. Kishore Shallo, I am pleased to inform you that I look forward to returning to the game I love with immediate effect, and looking forward to contributing to the best of my abilities across all formats.
