She will be joined by 17-year-old McLean, a right-handed wicketkeeper/batter who hails from Jamaica.
Meanwhile, regular first team players Britney Cooper, Kycia Knight and Shaquana Quintyne will miss the series for various reasons.

The ODI series and the first two T20s will be played in Barbados with the remaining matches scheduled for Trinidad.
