West Indies all-rounder Deandra Dottin has announced her retirement from international cricket with immediate effect. The cricketer announced her retirement via her Twitter account.

She wrote, "There have been many obstacles during my cricket career that I have had to overcome, however, the current climate and team environment has been non-conductive (conducive) to my ability to thrive and reignite my passion. With much sadness but without regret, I realize I am no longer able to adhere to team culture and team environment as it has undermined my ability to perform excellently."

Dottin's announcement comes hours after Barbados' 9-wicket loss to Australia at the Commonwealth Games 2022. Barbados were bundled for paltry 64 in the alloted 20 overs wherein Deandra scored mere 8 runs and conceded 25 runs in a single over.
