The tour consists of three ODIs for ICC Women's Championship points in Antigua on December 4, 6 and 9 followed by one T20I on December 11 before four more in Barbados on December 14, 17, 18 and 22.
Nothing on Willow about this upcoming tour.
1. Are our girls in training, fit and ready?
2. Is Stafanie Taylor fit and ready?
3. Can we entice Deandra Dottin to come out of retirement?
4. Is Cherry Ann fit and ready to go? Do well here, earn a call up to The Hundred. You would do well in England.
5. Who will make runs for us apart from the usual? Henry, Alleyne, McLean, etc? Are you batting 100 balls per day?
A tough task for WI women for sure.
Deandra Dottin in action tonight in the WBBL Final for Adelaide Strikers against the Sydney Sixers.
It is international quality match. Consider the bowling attack of the Strikers:
Megan Schutt
Darcie Brown
Deandra Dottin
Amanda-Jade Wellington
Jemma Barsby
Tahlia McGrath
vs the batting lineup of the Sydney Sixers top 7:
Suzie Bates
Alyssa Healy (wk)
Ellyse Perry (capt)
Ashleigh Gardner
Erin Burns
Nicole Bolton
Sophie Ecclestone

Will definitely be tuned in. These are quality cricketers.
In reply to Osmond
Dottin had a great outing in the Challenger match and IMO was the player of the match.
4-0-29-2 - 9 dot balls, 4x4, 0x6 2WD, 0NB.
39 (21) - 3x4 3x6
WBBL Final
Player of the match - Deandra Dottin
52*(37) & 4-1-30-2
Her first over was double-wicket maiden.
In reply to Fantom
I don't know if Dottin's decision is set in stone. But CWI should engage with her, and try to thrash out whatever issues she may have with the Team, and Management.
Will be following
In reply to Fantom
It's hard to be excited, about a pending no contest
In reply to Osmond
It would be interesting to know why she retired from international cricket. West Indies lost a good player.
In reply to Osmond
I think Datin realize, if she plays, it's an effort in futility, the standard between her self, Matthews
And the rest of the team is too great, I did not mention Taylor because she is at the end of her carrier, I think she is the best WI have produce thus far

Sometimes it's the learnings, not just winning or losing. We can learn a lot from England.
Shemaine Campbelle and Kycia Knight back in West Indies squad for ODIs against England
What's the rationale for keeping 36yo Chedean Nation in the team and leaving out Natasha McLean who is about to be 28? Natasha could be a lot more productive than Chedean ever was or can be.
Natasha, you need to lose weight - run 10-25 miles per week to start. Watch your diet.
