. George's 118 helped her team to a second-innings total of 440, however, and Pakistan chose not to attempt the chase of 162 in 23 overs as the match was drawn.
George made her ODI debut aged 34 against
Sri Lanka
, opening the batting and making 16 in a 27-run loss. She played five of the six ODIs in the series, which the West Indies lost 0–6 – with 82 runs, she was the West Indies' third-best batswoman by runs and fifth-best by average.
She was retained for the
Netherlands, in which the West Indians got what the Wisden Cricketers' Almanack described as a "surprise victory".[1] With a loss in that match, and all other results equal, the West Indies would have finished third in the tournament and thus not qualified for the World Cup. With 114 runs, she made the most runs for the West Indies in that tournament.[2]
George has played every ODI for West Indies since then, playing 12 on tour of the
South Africa
2–1 in an ODI series immediately following the World Cup. George made a combined total of 10 runs in the two wins, but was the only one to make it into double figures in the third ODI.

WT20I history (at the age of 39 years and 265 days).[3]

She was also the first woman cricketer to keep wicket and to open the batting as captain in Women's Twenty20 International history.[5]
