It means the opening partnership of Beth Mooney and Georgia Voll will likely get another chance to shine in the Caribbean after the combination produced mixed results during the recent series against India, with left-hander Phoebe Litchfield set to continue at No.3 in the shortest format ahead of the T20 World Cup.
Nitschke suggested there was still some chance that hard-hitting batter Grace Harris could work her way into contention for the T20 World Cup despite the fact she is missing the tour of the West Indies, with just some fine-tuning to the top six expected over the coming months.
“I think we’re really close (to finalising our best side),” Nitschke added.
“I think there was a fair bit of talk about the India series, but we didn’t change too much, our top-order has been pretty stable for a while.
“I think there’s just a couple of decisions and a few tweaks we need to make or work out our best combinations are as well.
“I think we all know how great Belsy (Sutherland) is, and I certainly think that she’s going to be a main part of our T20 batting line-up at some point.
“She still offers us some really good hitting down the order at the moment.
“We all know what Grace (Harris) can do, she’s got a massive point of difference and she’s still part of the discussions around what that final squad looks like for a World Cup.”
