Cricket West Indies announced its 15-member squad for the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup 2024 in October. The tournament was moved from Bangladesh to the United Arab Emirates and will go on from October 3-20.
West Indies is placed in Group B, along with Bangladesh, England, Scotland and South Africa.
The squad has a mix of youth and experience under the leadership of skipper Hayley Matthews.
The biggest development is the return of explosive batter Deandra Dottin to the Windies fold. Two years after a shock retirement announcement, Dottin’s availability will come as a big shot in the arm for the side.
Dottin had opened up about a “non-conducive” environment within the West Indies set-up but took back her decision last month with the World Cup in mind.
The squad, led by Matthews, features a mix of experienced players and promising talent, reflecting the depth and versatility of West Indies women’s cricket.
“We have a well-balanced team with a combination of experience and youth, and we believe this group has what it takes to compete strongly at the T20 World Cup. Our preparation has been thorough, and the management team has worked tirelessly to ensure the players are ready for the challenges ahead,” head coach Shane Deitz said.
“The players have shown great commitment and determination throughout our preparations. We are focused on executing our game plan and making the West Indies proud on the world stage.”
West Indies will begin its campaign on October 4 against South Africa.
