Career
editScott was part of the touring party for the West Indies on their 1979 tour of England as back-up wicket-keeper to Yolande Geddes-Hall. She played a total of five matches on tour, mostly against regional teams, and did not feature in any of the international games.[3] For various reasons, the West Indies women's team played no international fixtures during the 1980s, only returning to international competition at the 1993 World Cup in England.[4] At the World Cup, Scott was appointed vice-captain to Ann Browne. She made her One Day International (ODI) debut in the first match of the tournament, against India, but was dismissed for a three-ball duck.[5][6] She made four runs in the next match, a loss to the Netherlands, and also stumped the Dutch captain Nicola Payne, from the bowling of Cherry-Ann Singh.[7] In the following game, against Australia, Scott was forced to retire hurt while batting.[8] She would play no further part in the tournament. Scott was retained in the West Indian squad for the 1997 World Cup in India, but made only a single appearance, in the ninth-place play-off against Denmark.[6] Coming in fourth in the batting order, she scored 66 runs from 108 balls, putting on 155 runs for the fourth wicket with Carol-Ann James, a new team record.[9]
