West Indies vice-captain Chinelle Henry is currently under observation by the team’s medical staff due to an aggravated previous injury sustained during a Women’s T20 World Cup warm-up match against Australia. Henry, a key player in the West Indies squad, encountered the injury concern when she was stretchered off the field after an awkward fall while attempting to catch a ball. Cricket West Indies has confirmed that Henry is receiving medical attention for the exacerbated injury and will provide updates accordingly.
The 30-year-old all-rounder, who serves as the vice-captain of the team, holds significant experience, having participated in five previous Women’s T20 World Cups. As West Indies gears up for the global tournament, Henry’s fitness status remains a focal point for the team. Meanwhile, Australia concluded their preparations for the Women’s T20 World Cup with a convincing six-wicket victory over West Indies in Cardiff, led by Georgia Voll’s impressive unbeaten 77 off 48 balls.
Australia’s successful chase of 132 runs was highlighted by Voll’s stellar performance, supported by a strong opening spell from bowler Lucy Hamilton. Despite Deandra Dottin’s notable 46 off 38 balls for West Indies, the team fell short as they were all out on the final ball of their innings. Additionally, Australia carefully managed Phoebe Litchfield, who missed her second warm-up match due to a quad issue, ensuring her readiness for the upcoming tournament opener against South Africa.
