Freya Kemp Named In England Women A Squads To Tour Australia
Freya Kemp Named In England Women A Squads To Tour Australia
Hampshire all-rounder Freya Kemp has been included in England Women’s ‘A’ squads to tour Australia
Hampshire all-rounder Freya Kemp has been named in all three of England Women’s ‘A’ squads to tour Australia later this month.
She has played 30 times for England across both white ball formats and made history in 2022 when she became the youngest England Women’s player to score an IT20 fifty when she made 51 not out against India at Derby.
The group, led by England Women A Head Coach and Performance Batting Coach Jon Lewis, will play three T20s, three 50-over matches and a four-day match against Australia A.
The majority of the group have recently been preparing at a training camp in Abu Dhabi to further their skills in warm conditions and gain some competitive scenario practice. The group depart for Sydney on 17 March.
We are looking forward to testing ourselves against a national side with great depth. We are aware of the challenge ahead. There has been some good work done by the players based in England and those who have been playing cricket over the winter around the world and this tour provides an opportunity for players to push for selection into the senior squad through strong performances against the Australians.
Jon Lewis, England Women A Head Coach
We have a good mix of experience across the three squads with all players striving to perform and push for selection into the senior team. The experience they will gain through highly competitive matches within a multi-format schedule will be really exciting, and hopefully invaluable for them in accelerating their development. A tour to Australia is what so many young cricketers dream of, and we wish them well.
Jonathan Finch, Director of England Women’s Cricket
