West Indies Women captain Hayley Matthews has been shortlisted for the coveted the ICC’s Women’s Twenty20 International Cricketer of the Year. 

The Barbadian athlete joins Sri Lankan all-rounder Chamari Athapaththu, England’s left-arm spinner Sophie Ecclestone, and Australian fast bowling all-rounder Ellyse Perry as the other shortlisted contenders. The winner will be announced later this month. 

The 25-year-old Matthews made her international debut as a teenager. She was appointed captain last June, replacing Jamaican Stafanie Taylor. Matthews has proven to be one of the most dominant all-rounders in the shortest format this year, scoring 700 runs from 14 innings while averaging 63 with the bat and taking 19 wickets.

The right-hander headlined her side’s three-match series against Australia last October, scoring 310 runs at an average of 155.  Matthews returned a career-best 132 from 64 balls, as West Indies chased down 213 in North Sydney. 

She also topped her side bowling with five wickets at 17 runs apiece. The 33-year-old Athapaththu with an average of 31 with the bat, picked up eight wickets from 16 matches. The 24-year-old Ecclestone finished the year with 23 wickets at an average of 10. 

Perry, the 33-year-old two-time recipient of the ICC Women’s Cricketer of the Year honor, had an average of 45 with the bat from 14 outings while picking up six wickets at nine runs apiece.
