All-rounder Stafanie Taylor is set to miss the upcoming white-ball series against India as she is currently rehabilitating from an injury sustained and will be absent from this tour, as per the Cricket West Indies (CWI) press release. In her absence, Deandra Dottin will be seen in the upcoming series.

The action will kick off in December with a three-match T20I series at the DY Patil Stadium in Navi Mumbai against West Indies women, followed by three ODIs, which will take place in Baroda. Team India will then take on Ireland Women for a three-match ODI series in Rajkot in January. The ODI series against West Indies and Ireland is a part of the ICC Women's Championship," BCCI stated.
