One stalwart will be out of the Women’s CPL final for Trinbago Knight Riders as Cricket West Indies announced in a release earlier today that West Indies Women’s Vice-Captain Anisa Mohammed has decided to take a leave of absence from International Cricket for a period of six months.
Mohammed requested to take a break from the game with immediate effect after a hectic year of cricket both home and away.
The 33 year old’s decision to take time away from cricket comes with the full support of Cricket West Indies.
Mohammed made her debut for the West Indies at the age of 13 at the Women’s Cricket World Cup Qualifiers in Holland in 2003. She established herself as the premier spin bowler for the West Indies Women, going on to become the first cricketer, male or female, to take 100 T20I wickets and ultimately the leading wicket-taker in the format with 125 scalps.
