Sophie Ecclestone returns to England Women’s IT20 squad for the series against India, with Sarah Glenn missing out.<\/p>\n
The England Women\u2019s selectors have named a 14-strong squad for England Women\u2019s upcoming Vitality IT20 series against India, with Lancashire left-arm spinner Sophie Ecclestone returning to the international fold.<\/p>\n
Ecclestone bolsters a group coming off the back of a 3-0 win against West Indies, the first series in charge for Edwards and new captain Nat Sciver-Brunt.<\/p>\n
England Women IT20 squad<\/strong><\/p>\n Em Arlott<\/strong> (Birmingham Bears) Head Coach Charlotte Edwards said: \u201cWe\u2019re really looking forward to taking on India. They\u2019re one of the best sides in the world and it\u2019ll be a huge test for us.<\/p>\n \u201cThere was lots to be happy about in the West Indies series but equally lots of things we want to keep improving on \u2013 we\u2019re always looking at getting better. Five games against India in front of big crowds at great venues will serve us really well. This is a significant series for us with the countdown well and truly underway towards the home ICC Women\u2019s T20 World Cup.”<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s great to have Soph back, and we\u2019re looking forward to having her back in the group. She has obvious qualities and she\u2019ll be an asset to us.<\/p>\n \u201cIt does mean Sarah Glenn misses out, we are blessed with a strong group of spinners and we unfortunately can\u2019t play them all. It\u2019s now a great opportunity for Sarah to go back to The Blaze and play some competitive cricket in the Vitality Blast.\u201d<\/p>\n England Women will take on India in five matches, starting on June 28 at Trent Bridge. A three-match Metro Bank ODI series will follow, with the squad to be confirmed at a later date.<\/p>\n
