Academy Duo Eve O'Neill And Shristi Patil Sign First Pro Contracts
Spin bowler Eve O’Neill and batter Shristi Patil have signed one-year professional contracts
Lauren Bell, Maia Bouchier, and Charlie Dean have all been made available by the ECB to play in the final of the Rachael Heyhoe Flint Trophy at Lord's following the conclusion of England Women's ODI series against India.
Dean featured in all three matches, including yesterday's ODI where she top scored with 47 as England narrowly missed out on chasing down 170, as she put on a partnership of 35 with last batter Freya Davies.
Bell played the second match of the series where she took the wicket of Harleen Deol for 58, who was well caught by Vipers teammate Danni Wyatt.
Bouchier was named in the squad but didn't feature in the series, and was released by England to play in the Rachael Heyhoe Flint Trophy, and scored a quickfire half-century in the Vipers' eliminator against South East Stars in Beckenham.
The playing XI will be named shortly after the toss.
