T20 World Cup: West Indies vice-captain Chinelle Henry is being monitored by the team's medical staff after aggravating a previous injury during a Women's T20 World Cup warm-up match against Australia, Cricket West Indies (CWI) confirmed on Wednesday.

Henry raised concern ahead of the tournament after being stretchered off the ground in a warm-up fixture following an awkward fall while trying to take a catch. The all-rounder had lost her footing as she went to take the catch, falling awkwardly and halting play briefly before being helped from the field.

Providing an update on her condition, Cricket West Indies said in a statement: "Chinelle Henry experienced an exacerbation of a previous injury and is currently being managed by the team's medical staff. Further updates will be provided as appropriate."

The 30-year-old is an integral part of the West Indies squad and vice-captain of the team. Henry also brings a wealth of experience to the side having represented the Caribbean team in five previous Women’s T20 World Cups. West Indies are preparing to launch their campaign in the global tournament and her fitness will be under keen observation in the days ahead.
