West Indies Women's have named squad for India tour, which begins from December 15. Key all-rounder Stafanie Taylor has been ruled out of the tour due to injury.

Stafanie Taylor sustained a knee injury during last month's ICC Women's T20 World Cup and was out of one match during the showcase tournament. Captain Hayley Matthews will once again lead the West Indies team during the tour.

Veteran all-rounder Deandra Dottin will return to ODI cricket for the first time in more than two years after some terrific efforts in the recent T20 World Cup.

“We want to take the good momentum we gained at the T20 World Cup into this series. We showed that we can compete against the top teams which was pleasing," Deitz said.

“Since I've taken over, I've seen improvements in all areas, but we still have a long way to go. The consistency of high-level performance is what we need to keep working towards and this is a good opportunity to play six matches against one of the best teams in the world.

“We want to get more girls involved with franchise cricket moving forward and looking toward India, it's always good to play in front of the Indian IPL teams. ​ It is good for our ladies to start getting their names in front of those people, to hopefully open some opportunities in the future.”
