Deandra Jalisa Shakira Dottin (born 21 June 1991) is a Barbadian cricketer and former track and field athlete. A right-handed batter and right-arm fast bowler, Dottin made her debut for the West Indies women's cricket team in June 2008. She plays as a hard-hitting lower-order batter, and scored her first century in a Women's Twenty20 International in 2010. She played in her 100th Women's One Day International (WODI) match, when the West Indies played India in the group stage of the 2017 Women's Cricket World Cup, on 29 June 2017.{{cite web|title=Taylor, Dottin in sight of joint landmark |url=http://www.espncricinfo.com/icc-womens-world-cup-2017/content/story/1107219.html |work=ESPNcricinfo |access-date=29 June 2017}} She plays domestic cricket for Trinbago Knight Riders and Manchester Originals, and has previously played for Barbados, Trinidad and Tobago, Lancashire Thunder, North West Thunder, London Spirit, Perth Scorchers, Brisbane Heat, Adelaide Strikers, Trailblazers and Supernovas.{{cite web|url=https://cricketarchive.com/Archive/Players/317/317605/317605.html |title=Player Profile: Deandra Dottin |work=CricketArchive |access-date=20 May 2021}}

Early life and education
Dottin was born in Barbados,{{cite web |title=Deandra Dottin profile and biography, stats, records, averages, photos and videos |url=https://www.espncricinfo.com/player/deandra-dottin-355349 |work=ESPNcricinfo |access-date=10 March 2022}} and spent most of her childhood in Rock Hall, a village in the parish of St Andrew.{{cite journal |last1=Pradhan |first1=Snehal |author1-link=Snehal Pradhan |title=The Destroyer: Deandra Dottin, Barbados, 25 |journal=The Cricket Monthly |date=February 2017 |url=https://www.thecricketmonthly.com/story/1077334/champions |access-date=10 March 2022}} Her father died when she was 12 years old, and she was raised primarily by her mother, Melva. Dottin's brothers, grandparents and uncles all lived in Rock Hall. Another relative, her cousin Ottis Gibson, was a medium pace bowler for the West Indies in the 1990s, and has since been a coach of a number of high-profile teams.{{cite news |author1=((HT Correspondent)) |title=Dottin the ICC map with hope |url=https://www.hindustantimes.com/cricket/dottin-the-icc-map-with-hope/story-ukAqfiHefI2v5GDSVsHWPL.html |access-date=10 March 2022 |work=Hindustan Times |date=6 May 2010 |language=en}}
As a young child, Dottin focused her sporting attention on track and field athletics.{{cite web |last1=Ponsonby |first1=Cameron |title='I still have thoughts about going back' - cricketer Dottin on her Olympic dream |url=https://www.bbc.com/sport/cricket/58059288 |website=BBC Sport |access-date=10 March 2022 |date=10 August 2021}} Initially, she was a sprinter. Over time, her specialty became the javelin throw, and she was also prominent in shot put and discus throw events. At that stage of her life, cricket was just a pastime; she played informal games with her brothers and other boys in the neighbourhood.
Dottin also attended St James Secondary School (now Frederick Smith Secondary School),{{cite news |author1=JMB |title=Frederick Smith Secondary School hosts awards |url=https://www.barbadosadvocate.com/news/frederick-smith-secondary-school-hosts-awards |access-date=10 March 2022 |work=The Barbados Advocate |date=2 December 2019}}{{cite web |title=Sports Overview |url=http://fredericksmithsecondary.org/sportsoverview.html |website=Frederick Smith Secondary School |access-date=10 March 2022}}{{cite web |title=About Us |url=http://fredericksmithsecondary.org/fssaboutust.html |website=Frederick Smith Secondary School |access-date=10 March 2022}} at Trents in the parish of St James.{{cite web |title=Contact Us |url=http://fredericksmithsecondary.org/tcontactpage.html |website=Frederick Smith Secondary School |access-date=10 March 2022}}
Between 2005 and 2007, Dottin competed successfully in the youth level (U-17), and in 2008 she medalled in the junior level (U-20), of the CARIFTA Games, an annual athletics competition founded by the Caribbean Free Trade Association (CARIFTA). Her most outstanding CARIFTA was the 2007 event, at which she won a record-breaking three gold medals, in discus throw, javelin throw and shot put, respectively. However, in the aftermath of that event she came to feel disillusioned at what she felt was a lack of support from the Barbadian track and field governing body.
By then, Dottin had begun playing cricket formally, as a 14 year old. She had been spotted by another West Indies player, Pamela Lavine, while playing a recreational game. Although her mother had been resistant to her playing cricket, Dottin had wanted to try something else. The high level of fitness she had developed as a track and field athlete was an important factor in her rise through the cricketing ranks. Before long, the task of balancing the two sports became too difficult for Dottin, and she chose cricket, probably because she had "... started to grow a love for the game".
Cricket career
=International debut=
Dottin made her international cricket debut in 2008, when she was selected as part of the West Indies squad to tour Europe. Playing in the opening WODI of the tour, Dottin bowled two overs without taking a wicket, allowing eleven runs to be scored. In the West Indies reply, she top-scored with an unbeaten 33 as her team chased the total down in under 20 overs.{{cite web|url=https://cricketarchive.com/Archive/Scorecards/175/175553.html |title=Ireland Women v West Indies Women |publisher=CricketArchive |date=24 June 2008 |access-date=5 May 2010}} She scored her first half-century in international cricket in her fourth ODI, making 66 having opened the batting against Netherlands.{{cite web|url=https://cricketarchive.com/Archive/Scorecards/175/175558.html |title=Netherlands Women v West Indies Women |publisher=CricketArchive |date=7 July 2008 |access-date=5 May 2010}} She completed the tour of Europe with 149 ODI runs at a batting average of 29.80, second among the West Indians in both areas, trailing Stafanie Taylor.{{cite web|url=https://cricketarchive.com/Archive/Events/ENG/West_Indies_Women_in_British_Isles_and_Netherlands_2008/wo_West_Indies_Women_Batting.html |title=Women's ODI Batting and Fielding for West Indies Women: West Indies Women in British Isles and Netherlands 2008 |publisher=CricketArchive |access-date=5 May 2010}} She continued to open the innings during the tour of Sri Lanka, averaging 18.20, but struggled from the same position in the first two matches of the 2009 Women's Cricket World Cup, and after failing to make double figures in either match, was dropped down the batting order to number five.{{cite web|url=https://cricketarchive.com/Archive/Scorecards/179/179881.html |title=South Africa Women v West Indies Women |publisher=CricketArchive |date=8 March 2009 |access-date=5 May 2010}}{{cite web|url=https://cricketarchive.com/Archive/Scorecards/179/179884.html |title=New Zealand Women v West Indies Women |publisher=CricketArchive |date=10 March 2009 |access-date=5 May 2010}} The move immediately paid off as she scored 51 in the next match, against hosts Australia and then 23 against both Pakistan and England in the following matches, though she finished the tournament with low-scores against India and Pakistan.
=2010 World Twenty20=
In the opening match of the 2010 ICC Women's World Twenty20, Dottin scored the first Women's Twenty20 International century, scoring 112 not out against South Africa at Warner Park, St. Kitts.{{cite web|url=http://www.cricinfo.com/wwt202010/content/story/458566.html |title=Dottin hurricane gets Windies off the mark |publisher=ESPNcricinfo |author=ESPNcricinfo staff |date=5 May 2010 |access-date=5 May 2010}} Coming into bat at number six in the tenth over, Dottin made her first 50 runs in 25 balls, and then moved from 50 to 100 in a further 13 balls. In total, she hit seven 4s and nine 6s in the innings, propelling the West Indies to a match-winning total.{{cite web|url=http://www.cricinfo.com/wwt202010/engine/current/match/412704.html |title=ICC Women's World Twenty20, 1st Match, Group A: West Indies Women v South Africa Women at Basseterre, May 5, 2010 |publisher=ESPNcricinfo |access-date=5 May 2010}} In addition to being the first century in women's Twenty20 Internationals, her 38-ball century is the fastest by any female batsman in a Twenty20 International.{{Cite news|url=http://stats.espncricinfo.com/ci/content/records/458559.html|title=Records.
