Hettie's new version takes WI home

BRIEF SCORES: WI 182/5 in 20 ovs (Hetmyer 64, Rutherford 26) bt Scotland 147 all out (Richie Berrington 42, Shepherd 5/20).
ON February 3, the International Cricket Council's social media handle posted pictures from West Indies photoshoot on X. While sharing portraits of each West Indian player in a thread, they stopped at 14. The footnote of the final tweet's caption read 'Shimron Hetmyer - Not present'.
It created a storm. Hetmyer had missed a flight to India from South Africa and it was not the first time it had happened just before a T20 World Cup. Back in 2022, the West Indies batter missed a flight to get to Australia, which was rescheduled at his request for "personal reasons" and was replaced by Shamarh Brooks. So when Hetmyer was not present for the team photo-shoot, speculations were rife about him missing the flight and whether it would be a repeat of 2022.
