She played a total of five matches on tour,mostly against regional teams,and did not feature in any of the international games.

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,off 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]
