In December 2024, she made headlines by scoring a rapid 43 runs off just 16 balls against India in Navi Mumbai. Henry also plays for the Barbados Royals in the Women&#8217;s Caribbean Premier League (WCPL).<\/p>\n<p><strong>RCB Brings in Heather Graham and Kim Garth After Player Departures<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In other WPL news, the Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB), defending champions of the league, faced some challenges after English all-rounder Kate Cross and New Zealand&#8217;s Sophie Devine withdrew from the tournament due to personal reasons.
