England Women A have named their squad to take on India A in their forthcoming IT20 series. Off-spinner Charlie Dean will captain the 13-player group who will travel to India on Sunday. After a fortnight-long training camp in Oman, the squad will fine-tune their preparations in Mumbai ahead of three IT20 fixtures taking place on
England ‘A’ v Australia ‘A’ – Third ODI Teams: the two staffs agreed to include 12 each, but only 11 on the field at a time. Australia: Tahlia Wilson, Maddie Darke, Heather Graham (captain), Charli Knott, Tess Flintoff, Courtney Webb, Nicole Faltum (wk), Maitlan Brown, Amanda-Jade Wellington, Courtney Sippel, Lauren Cheatle England: Bryony Smith (vice-captain),
Now we see Jon Lewis being thoroughly progressive. He and his fellow selectors have had the three T20s at Loughborough to ponder over, and they have made some interesting calls. First and foremost, it’s the squad for the first match only (see below). Second, the captaincy is given to Grace Scrivens. That is a signal

It’s always likely to turn out like this when the two sides are not aligned, so while South Africa had nominally their strongest XI on the field; the English combined seasoned internationals (Elwiss, Winfield-Hill, Glenn, Villiers, Davies) with players anxious to
The new-look England A squad had a thoroughly encouraging win over South Africa at Sophia Gardens, Cardiff. They won a T20 game comfortably by 15 runs, having posted 155 against a Proteas attack missing Marizanne Kapp. It was officially described as a warm-up, but that applied mainly to the Proteas; the English could only hope
Lisa Keightley, England’s head coach, offered wise words: ‘The players need as much cricket as possible.’ The addition of A-squad fixtures against South Africa is one of the best ways to ensure this happens. The latest selection shows a numbers of changes since the game at Arundel. Two wise old heads, Danni Wyatt and Lauren
The Hundred was an enormous boost for English cricket, especially for the women’s game. Where does it go from here? The elite end has a packed programme of events: a series against New Zealand already under way, a tour of Pakistan next month, and a World Cup next March in New Zealand. The opening game
