Stacy-Ann King

ST JOHN'S, Antigua (CMC):

The experienced duo of Stacy-Ann King and Afy Fletcher, as well as rookie all-rounder Chinelle Henry have been recalled to the West Indies Women's cricket squad announced yesterday for a tour of Sri Lanka.

King, Fletcher and Henry have been named on a 14-member squad leaving this week to participate in a training camp in Colombo ahead of the matches starting May 13.

The 31-year-old King, a left-handed batsman and left-arm medium-fast bowler, has made 53 one-day international and 61 Twenty20 international appearances for the Windies Women.

Fletcher, aged 28, will be making her first trip with the women's side in six years. She has appeared in 13 ODIs and two T20Is between 2008 and 2009, with her last international a Super Six match against England Women in the 2009 ICC Women's World Cup in Australia.

The 19-year-old Henry has appeared in two ODIs and four T20Is between October 2013 and February last year before losing her place in the side.

Three members of the side that played in the previous ICC Women's Championship series in Australia will not be making the trip.

The three are left-handed all-rounder Shanel Daley, who has been sidelined with a knee injury; leg-spinner Shaquana Quintyne and medium-fast bowler Shakera Selman.

The tour comprises three Twenty20 internationals and four one-day internationals, the last three of which will count towards the ICC Women's Championship.

SQUAD: Merissa Aguilleira (captain), Stafanie Taylor (vice-captain), Shemaine Campbelle, Shamilia Connell, Britney Cooper, Deandra Dottin, Afy Fletcher, Chinelle Henry, Stacy-Ann King, Kycia Knight, Hayley Matthews, Anisa Mohammed, Subrina Munroe, Tremayne Smartt.
