CMC –WEST INDIES all-rounders Chinelle Henry and Deandra Dottin have been snapped up in the Women’s Big Bash League (WBBL) Overseas Player Draft, set to bring their explosive talents to Australia’s premier T20 competition.

The Brisbane Heat secured Henry, marking her first appearance in the WBBL.

The 29-year-old, known for her powerful right-handed batting and handy medium-pace bowling, has been in sensational form across all formats this year.

Henry’s standout performances in the Women’s Premier League (WPL) for UP Warriorz, where she played alongside Grace Harris, caught global attention.

She equalled the tournament record for the fastest fifty, which came off just 18 balls and finished with a staggering strike rate of 196, the highest in the competition.

At the Heat, she will team up with India’s Jemimah Rodrigues and South Africa’s Nadine de Klerk.

Meanwhile, veteran power-hitter Deandra Dottin will return to the Melbourne Renegades for a second consecutive season.

The hard-hitting all-rounder will partner with England’s rising star, Alice Capsey, as the Renegades look to improve on last season’s campaign.

The Renegades suffered a setback with the news that Hayley Matthews, another West Indies star, will miss the upcoming season due to a shoulder injury, denying fans a potential Caribbean duo in Melbourne.
