ST. JOHN’S, Antigua - West Indies Women’s vice-captain Anisa Mohammed has decided to take a leave of absence from International Cricket for a period of six months.
Mohammed requested to take a break from the game with immediate effect, after a hectic year of cricket both home and away.
The 33-year-old’s decision to take time away from cricket comes with the full support of Cricket West Indies (CWI).
Seems like key players are abandoning the new skipper, very strange.

Note it is international cricket and not franchise cricket. It does seem a bit strange that this comes not long after Dottin's decision to retire from international cricket.

Something ina something..
Anissa is overweight and may be taking time off to try and get fitter.
She’s made a valuable contribution to WI womens cricket regardless of how this turns out.
All the best to you Anisa. Maybe we will see you back in the international arena in 6 months.
In reply to Raggs
The timing does raise some interesting questions 
In reply to Halliwell
Well maybe now your Antiguan relative can get a call-up...
Anissa has a twin sister, both were spinners
The sister didn't have the dedication Anissa has and fell through the cracks of T&T cricket.
Rest will be good for her.
Come back strong Anissa.
Anisa has given great service to West Indies cricket and deserves a break if she needs it. At this stage of her career, Anisa might be of greater service to WI cricket as a coach in the Women's and youth games than as an international player. We have two off-spinners that do more with ball than Anisa - Karishma Ramharack and Sheneta Grimmond. These two need as much game time as possible. They will not get it with Anisa in the team.
Whatever you decide, Anisa, be well and walk good.
