England name squad for India T20Is, Ecclestone returns following break
England’s women's cricket team has announced a 14-player squad for the upcoming five-match T20I series against India, scheduled to commence in late June 2025. The series will be held across various venues in England, providing both teams with an opportunity to fine-tune their preparations ahead of the Women's T20 World Cup in 2026.
Sophie Ecclestone makes her much-anticipated return to the squad after taking a temporary break from cricket to prioritize her well-being. Fast bowler Lauren Filer also returns to the side after missing the West Indies series.
"It's great to have Soph back, and we're looking forward to having her back in the group. She has obvious qualities and she'll be an asset to us. It does mean Sarah Glenn misses out, we are blessed with a strong group of spinners and we unfortunately can't play them all. It's now a great opportunity for Sarah to go back to The Blaze and play some competitive cricket in the Vitality Blast,” Head Coach Charlotte Edwards said in an ECB release.
England squad: Nat Sciver-Brunt (capt), Em Arlott, Tammy Beaumont, Lauren Bell, Alice Capsey, Charlie Dean, Sophia Dunkley, Sophie Ecclestone, Lauren Filer, Amy Jones, Paige Scholfield, Linsey Smith, Danni Wyatt-Hodge, Issy Wong
