Former West Indies all-rounder Deandra Dottin says she is "deeply disappointed" by the "bewildering reasoning" given by the Gujarat Giants explaining her omission from the squad for the inaugural WPL.
The Giants had stated prior to the season that the 31-year-old was "recovering from a medical situation", and subsequently announced Australia’s Kim Garth as her replacement.
Dottin tweeted that she was "recovering from nothing" at the time of the announcement.
At a media interaction after Dottin's response, Giants issued a clarification that they had to seek a replacement because they were unable to obtain a medical clearance in time for Dottin.
Dottin put out a detailed statement on Twitter on Sunday, saying, "I remain deeply disappointed by what can only, plausibly, be described as bewildering reasoning for my omission from the tournament.
"At the commencement of the tournament, the franchise claimed that I was excluded from the team because I was apparently 'recovering from a medical situation'. This was followed by a subsequent, clarifying statement that contended that I was, in fact 'unable to obtain medical clearance' despite being granted as recently as February 20th."

Dottin must know she can't win this....so renegotiate and patch things up for the future..otherwise she will only be playing CPL.

Sometimes integrity trumps money.
In this case I think she is peeved by the Indians misrepresenting the situation
There is money to be made in NZ and Oz and England and RSA so she neednt worry

At 31, she is still a young woman in her cricket prime...and she has the skills set to excel in the T20 game...
Of course she is peeved....and rightly so....but she needs help in sorting out this situation...she has much to gain if she does this.
Also she needs to un-retire and play for WI.

Cowardice approach. Can't believe you'd say so
She should be happy that she not going to lash ball and instead can focus on being the best proper cricketer she can be.

What 'proper cricketer'? According to most here there's only one form of proper cricket and WI women haven't played a Test since the early 2000s, before Deandra was even in WI colours.

Bravo needs to play proper cricket to if he'd be considered for a recall
