England and Wales Cricket Board have announced a 16-women’s strong squad for the three-match Royal London ODI Series against India

England and Wales Cricket Board have announced a 16-Women’s strong squad for the three-match Royal London ODI Series against India. For the very first time, Sophia Dunkley is included in the team and could make her ODI debut when the series gets underway at Bristol on Sunday, June 27. Also, Freya Davies and Sarah Glenn, who returned to their regional teams during the LV= Insurance Test match, are back in the squad.

After the announcement of the English Women’s squad, Head Coach Lisa Keightley said as quoted on the official website of ECB: “We’re looking forward to playing ODI cricket again after a hugely enjoyable and hard-fought Test match.

“The competition for places across all formats is growing every time we meet to select a squad. The options available to us are the strongest we’ve had since I’ve been in the role and we feel this group gives us a great opportunity for success in the ODI element of the series.” She added.

“There’s no space on this occasion for Danni Wyatt and Georgia Elwiss, and while I know they’re both disappointed to miss out, it’s important that they’re given the opportunity to play cricket at a regional level ahead of the Vitality IT20 series.”

“We have to balance the needs of the squad and the need of the individual and we’ll always be keen to get people playing competitive cricket where we can.” Head Coach said.
