The West Indies allrounder abruptly retired in August 2022 from global work.
Fast two years after making the immediate decision to quit while leading Barbados at the 2022 Commonwealth Games, Deandra Dottin has retired from foreign service and is now available for West Indies choice once more.
West Indies are pleased with the creation ahead of Bangladesh's Women's T20 World Cup in October this time.
In a letter to Cricket West Indies ( CWI ) that was included in the board's statement, Dottin, 33, wrote," Representing West Indies in international cricket has always been a matter of great pride and passion for me." I'm pleased to inform you that I'm anxious to return to the game that I love and make my full contribution to the West Indies children's team across all platforms with immediate effect after a period of reflection and attentive discussion with different functions within Cricket West Indies, including Cricket West Indies President, Dr. Kishore Shallow.
" I am convinced that my knowledge, age, and skills does add value to the team as it has done in the past, and I am prepared to provide my best efforts in every match and training program to ensure the team's winning path in global cricket. In addition, I'm eager to help promote children's cricket in our area by mentoring younger people.
CWI welcomed Dottin's selection". According to CWI chairman of cricket Miles Bascombe, Deandra is a player with a lot of skill and experience. We are pleased with her decision to return to international cricket and be eligible for variety. There is no doubt that she may add considerable value to the West Indies Women's team."
When Dottin announced her retirement in August 2022, citing a" non-conducive "environment within the West Indies set-up, she had played 143 ODIs ( 3727 runs at an average of 30.54 ) and 127 T20Is ( 2697 runs ). She holds the record for the fastest decade in children's T20Is- a 38-ball hundred against South Africa in the 2010 T20 World Cup. She also has 72 innings in ODIs and 62 in T20Is.
" It has a bit to do with the table, how they handle things and how they handle participants and how they really speak to people," Dottin said in August 2022 about her decision to retire". Sure people take things different, so it is a lot of work that West Indies Cricket will need to be done and I think they need to do it as fast as possible because it's not going to stop also for West Indies Cricket or cricket in the Caribbean.
Dottin was active on the T20 league circuit after her retirement but has n't been in competitive action since September 2023. In the weeks leading up to the T20 World Cup, she will take the place of the Trinbago Knight Riders team in the future children's Caribbean Premier League.
