A week following the appointment, Chinelle Henry insists her new role as West Indies vice-captain “hasn’t really changed much of anything” just yet. The all-rounder is, however, keen to approach the new chapter as deputy to Hayley Matthews with an embracive mindset.
“The preparation has been the same, [and] I’ll still go about playing the game the same,” Henry began. “[The title] doesn’t change who I am as a person or player. It’s just about stepping into more responsibility.”
Having previously been primarily utilized as a bowling all-rounder, Henry’s ever-increasing stature has coincided with her sustained growth as a batter over the last four years. Her rise has been globally noted and accentuated by stints in India’s Women’s Premier League and Australia’s Women’s Big Bash in the last two seasons.
