Her cricketing journey commenced in the sunlit streets of Bridgetown, where she would often wander, bat in hand, dreaming of greatness. As a child prodigy with an insatiable appetite for the game, Hayley’s raw talent was immediately apparent. By her early teens, she was already rubbing shoulders with cricketing enthusiasts who knew she was destined for something remarkable.
Her professional debut came at a tender age when she was included in the West Indies team at just 16. The 2014 One Day International series against New Zealand marked the dawn of her illustrious career. Hayley’s arrival was a breath of fresh air, and she wasted no time in announcing herself as a formidable allrounder.
