Shoulder Injury Forces Stafanie Taylor Out of T20I Series


West Indies Women's Team Update – June 2025 Senior batter Stafanie Taylor has been ruled out of the upcoming three-match T20I series against South Africa due to a shoulder injury sustained during the third ODI in Barbados. Taylor was unable to bat in that game as West Indies fell short in a DLS-adjusted chase of 288, folding for 121. South Africa claimed the ODI series 2–1, with Taylor contributing 30 and 17* in the first two matches. In her place, fast bowler Shawnisha Hector has been called up. Hector, who debuted in ODIs in 2019 as the first Antiguan woman to represent West Indies, is yet to make her T20I debut. The T20I squad remains mostly unchanged. Chinelle Henry, who joined the ODI squad mid-series replacing Cherry Ann-Fraser, retains her spot for the T20Is.
