The England Women’s selectors have named their 15-member squad to represent the Three Lions at the ICC Women’s World Cup in India and Sri Lanka.
The 13th edition of the marquee event is set to run from 30 September to November 2. It marks the first ICC tournament for both Head Coach Charlotte Edwards and captain Nat Sciver-Brunt.
Among the notable inclusions is former captain Heather Knight, who has been recalled as she continues her comeback from injury.
Sarah Glenn and Danni Wyatt-Hodge return to the ODI squad having missed out against India this summer.
Glenn is one of four specialist spinners and one of six players embarking on their first ODI World Cup.
Following the squad announcement, head coach Charlotte Edwards shared her thoughts.
“Being selected to play for your country in a World Cup is one of the biggest honours in sport, and I’m delighted for all the players named in the squad,” she remarked.
“Like all global tournaments, it will be a huge challenge, but we want to go as far as we possibly can in India, and I believe that if we play our best cricket, we can compete with anyone,” she concluded.
