Afy Samantha Sharlyn Fletcher (born 17 March 1987) is a Grenadian cricketer who represents the West Indies internationally.[1] A right-arm off-spin bowler, she made her international debut in 2008.

Fletcher made her international debut at the age of 21, in a One Day International (ODI) match against Ireland in June 2008.[2] On debut, she took 4/22 from nine overs, setting a new record for the best figures by a West Indian on her ODI debut.[3] Her Twenty20 International debut came the following month, against the Netherlands.[4] At the 2009 World Cup in Australia, Fletcher featured in five of her team's seven matches, but took only two wickets.[5] After the World Cup, she was not recalled to the West Indian squad for over six years. She returned to international cricket in May 2015, playing a series against Sri Lanka.[2][4] The following year, Fletcher was a member of the West Indian team that won the 2016 World Twenty20 in India, their first world title. She took seven wickets from six matches, including 3/12 against England and 2/16 against India, and finished the tournament ranked equal fifth for overall wickets taken.[6]

In October 2018, Cricket West Indies (CWI) awarded her a women's contract for the 2018–19 season.[7][8] Later the same month, she was named in the West Indies' squad for the 2018 ICC Women's World Twenty20 tournament in the West Indies.[9][10]
