Such clearances are a requirement for all players participating in the WPL. We look forward to seeing her return to the field soon. Subject to the approval of her medical report, she will be part of the Gujarat Giants squad for the next few seasons,” GG said in the statement. , without specifying what exactly was the medical problem that prevented Dottin, who played in 143 WODIs and 127 T20Is for the West Indies, from playing in the WPL.
