Stafanie Taylor Ruled Out Of South Africa T20Is, Hector Earns West Indies Recall
South Africa T20Is: In a blow to West Indies’ plans ahead of their T20I series against South Africa, veteran batter Stafanie Taylor has been ruled out with a shoulder injury sustained during the third ODI in Barbados.
Taylor, a linchpin in the Caribbean side’s batting order, was unable to take the field in the DLS-adjusted chase of 288, where West Indies crumbled to 121 all out. Her absence was felt as South Africa clinched the ODI series 2-1, despite Taylor’s earlier contributions of 30* and 17 in the first two games.
Fast bowler Shawnisha Hector has been named as Taylor’s replacement in the T20I squad. The 29-year-old Antiguan seamer, who debuted in ODIs in 2019, will be aiming to make her mark in the shortest format, potentially earning her maiden T20I cap. Hector’s selection is a significant moment, as she remains the only woman from Antigua to have represented the West Indies at the international level.
