The swashbuckling West Indies  batter  Deandra  Dottin is among the ICC Women’s Player of the month nominees for October.

Dottin  returned  from  retirement  to  make  an  impact with both bat and ball, as the West Indies made it into the semifinals of the ICC  Womens  T20  World Cup  tournament for the first time since 2018.

She  piled  up  120 runs at a fiery strike rate of 162.16 – the  best  at  the  tournament  and she also notched five wickets across as many games.

In a must-win group stage fixture against England, the right-handed batter’s 19-ball-27 pilotted  the  West  Indies  to  victory.

Sottins  standout performance  at  the  tournament  came against New Zealand in the semi-finals when she  snapped four wickets and almost took her team into the final with a power-packed 33-run innings, which saw her blast three sixes in an over.

Meanwhile, South  Africa’s  captain  Laura Wolvaardt  and  New  Sealands  24  year  old  alrounder  Melie Kerr  are  the  other  nominees.
