England name squad for historic Lord’s Test against India
England Women have named a 15-player squad for next month’s one-off Test against India at Lord’s, with five players who are yet to earn a Test cap being included in the side. Players like Alice Capsey, Tilly Corteen-Coleman, Mady Villiers, Grace Potts and Ellie Threlkeld are all looking forward to earning their Test debuts.
Nat Sciver-Brunt will lead the side that also includes experienced campaigners Sophie Ecclestone, Lauren Filer, Amy Jones, Heather Knight and Tammy Beaumont. The four-day Test is scheduled to begin on July 10 at Lord’s, just four days after the conclusion of the Women’s T20 World Cup final.
Meanwhile, Sophia Dunkley, Bess Heath, Danni Wyatt-Hodge, Charlie Dean, Ryana MacDonald-Gay and Kate Cross have been left out of the squad.
"We have selected a strong Test squad under the leadership of Nat Sciver-Brunt for what will be another historic few days at Lord's for women's cricket," said Clare Connor, ECB managing director of women's cricket.
"Test cricket is a rare and wonderfully challenging experience in the women's game and I know how proud our players are to represent England in this format. For the 11 women who will get the chance to be the first to enjoy that feeling at Lord's, it will be a moment to savour."
England squad for India Test: Nat Sciver-Brunt (c), Tammy Beaumont, Lauren Bell, Maia Bouchier, Alice Capsey, Tilly Corteen-Coleman, Sophie Ecclestone, Lauren Filer, Amy Jones, Heather Knight, Emma Lamb, Grace Potts, Ellie Threlkeld, Mady Villiers, Issy Wong.
