Deandra Dottin has decided to come out of international retirement and will once again be available for West Indies selection.

Cricket West Indies says Dottin wrote a heartfelt letter in which she said, “Representing West Indies in international cricket has always been a matter of great pride and passion for me. After a period of reflection and thoughtful dialogue with various parties within Cricket West Indies, including Cricket West Indies President, Dr. Kishore Shallow, I am pleased to inform you that I am eager to return to the game that I love, and contribute my utmost to the West Indies women’s team across all formats, with immediate effect.”

She went on to say “I am confident that my experience, maturity, and skills will add value to the team as it has done in the past, and I am prepared to furnish my best efforts in every match and training session to ensure the team’s winning trajectory in international cricket. Moreover, I am enthusiastic about mentoring younger players and contributing to the overall development of women’s cricket in our region.”

Dottin last played for West Indies in 2022.

She has 270 international matches across ODIs and T20Is.

In 2010, she scored the first Women’s T20I century.

Last month, MCC awarded Dottin an Honorary Life Membership of the club.

She is set to lead the Trinbago Knight Riders women’s team for the third consecutive year in the upcoming WCPL tournament.
