Deandra Dottin Controversy Rocks Gujarat Giants in WPL 2023

The Gujarat Giants, a team in the Women’s Premier League (WPL) 2023, is embroiled in controversy following the omission of West Indian cricketer Deandra Dottin from their squad. Dottin, who claimed to be recovering from injury, has accused the franchise of unfairly leaving her out of the team.

Dottin, a key player for the West Indies team, took to social media to express her disappointment, stating that she was “cleared by multiple surgeons” to play in the WPL. She claimed that the franchise did not communicate with her about their decision to leave her out of the squad, despite her efforts to contact them.

The Gujarat Giants have not yet responded to Dottin’s allegations, but the controversy has raised concerns about the team’s selection process and the treatment of injured players. The WPL has been hailed as a major step forward for women’s cricket in India but has faced criticism for issues such as player payments and scheduling.

Dottin’s absence will be felt by the Gujarat Giants, who will now have to rely on other players to fill the void. The team will be hoping to put the controversy behind them and focus on their upcoming matches in the WPL.
