Dottin to miss West Indies tour of England

Deandra Dottin has played 287 matches for the West Indies since her debut in 2008, scoring 6,789 runs and taking 150 wickets.

West Indies have left out all-rounder Deandra Dottin from their squad that will tour England in May and June.

The 33-year-old sustained an injury playing at the Women's Premier League in March, and did not feature as the West Indies failed to reach the upcoming World Cup at last month's qualifying tournament.

Hayley Matthews will lead a 15-strong touring party for three T20s and three one-day internationals, starting on 21 May at Canterbury.

The uncapped duo of all-rounder Realeanna Grimmond, 20, and seamer Jahzara Claxton, 19, are the new additions to the squad that finished third at the World Cup qualifiers in Pakistan.

They replace wicketkeeper Rashada Williams and all-rounder Chinelle Henry.

"This upcoming tour of England offers our women an important opportunity to reassert themselves on the international stage," said Cricket West Indies director of cricket Miles Bascombe.

"It's a chance to demonstrate the talent, grit, and character that are synonymous with West Indies cricket."

The tourists will face an England team playing for the first time under their new leadership team of head coach Charlotte Edwards and captain Natalie Sciver-Brunt.

West Indies squad: Hayley Matthews (capt), Aaliyah Alleyne, Shemaine Campbelle, Jahzara Claxton, Afy Fletcher, Cherry Ann Fraser, Shabika Gajnabi, Jannillea Glasgow, Realeanna Grimmond, Zaida James, Qiana Joseph, Mandy Mangru, Ashmini Munisar, Karishma Ramharack, Stafanie Taylor.
