Dottin wrote in her announcement-

“There have been many obstacles during my cricket career that I have had to overcome. However, the current climate and team environment have been non-conducive to my ability to thrive and reignite my passion.”

“I am appreciative of the opportunities afforded to me. And I have ruminated on my decision over a period of time. Playing for the West Indies and representing the region has been an honor. During my 14 years of playing, I have trained at my best and grown as a player physically, mentally, and emotionally. It is the combination of this growth that has assisted me in reflecting on what is truly important to me.
