Great news!!!!!!

I can see this "coming out" letter was done with some deep thought and possibly with some help.

Certainly but its in the best interest of HER career and West Indies. She is needed especially with the World Cup coming up. She will bring much needed stability in all aspects of the game. Thought some of the other ladies would be further along like Williams and James but they have more holes than a grater. Wait too limited.

Alluy must be blind, apart from the CPL which other team is she representing?
Her contracts have evaporated, let us hope she humbles herself.
I disliked the way she embarrassed Stef, by demanding the ball during the WC.

The management - local and CWI - messed up Zaida James royally. They put her to bat after Afy Fletcher. WTF??? Hopefully, Deandra will bat her in the top 4 or 5. She has all the shots, need to tighten up defence and improve front foot play.

Give Zaida James responsibility. She will do WI right.
