West Indies all-rounder Deandra Dottin retires: Team environment has been non-conductive to my ability to thrive

Deandra Dottin, who is playing for Barbados at the Commonwealth Games, will play the Group A match against India on August 3. Barbados is representing West Indies at the multi-sport event.

West Indies star all-rounder Deandra Dottin has called time on her career with West Indies, saying the current team environment has been non-conductive to her ability to thrive.

The 31-year-old Dottin took to Twitter to announce her decision late on Sunday night in Birmingham, where she is playing for team Barbados, who are representing West Indies at the multi-sport event.

It is understood that Dottin will continue to play in the Barbadian Commonwealth Games campaign, with the Caribbean side set to take on India in a do-or-die group game on August 3, the ICC stated.

Dottin highlighted organisational troubles in her statement addressed to the Cricket West Indies.

"This announcement has come with much contemplation as cricket has always been a passion of mine. However, when the fire burns out, one has to take time to reassess their commitment," the post read.

Thanks to all for the love and support with in my past 14 years of playing cricket for West Indies! I look forward to be playing domestic cricket around the world pic.twitter.com/Vmw6AqpYQJ
