West Indies all-rounders Chinelle Henry, left, and Deandra Dottin have been snapped up in the Women’s Big Bash League (WBBL) Overseas Player Draft.

BRIS­BANE, Aus­tralia -West In­dies all-rounders Chinelle Hen­ry and De­an­dra Dot­tin have been snapped up in the Women’s Big Bash League (WB­BL) Over­seas Play­er Draft, set to bring their ex­plo­sive tal­ents to Aus­tralia’s pre­mier T20 com­pe­ti­tion.

The Bris­bane Heat se­cured Hen­ry, mark­ing her first ap­pear­ance in the WB­BL.

The 29-year-old, known for her pow­er­ful right-hand­ed bat­ting and handy medi­um-pace bowl­ing, has been in sen­sa­tion­al form across all for­mats this year.

Hen­ry’s stand­out per­for­mances in the Women’s Pre­mier League (WPL) for UP War­riorz, where she played along­side Grace Har­ris, caught glob­al at­ten­tion.

She equalled the tour­na­ment record for the fastest fifty, which came off just 18 balls and fin­ished with a stag­ger­ing strike rate of 196, the high­est in the com­pe­ti­tion.

At the Heat, she will team up with In­dia’s Jemimah Ro­drigues and South Africa’s Na­dine de Klerk.

Mean­while, vet­er­an pow­er-hit­ter De­an­dra Dot­tin will re­turn to the Mel­bourne Rene­gades for a sec­ond con­sec­u­tive sea­son.

The hard-hit­ting all-rounder will part­ner with Eng­land’s ris­ing star Al­ice Capsey as the Rene­gades look to im­prove on last sea­son’s cam­paign.

The Rene­gades suf­fered a set­back with the news that Hay­ley Matthews, an­oth­er West In­dies star, will miss the up­com­ing sea­son due to a shoul­der in­jury, deny­ing fans a po­ten­tial Caribbean duo in Mel­bourne.
