Hampshire players selected in England Women Pathway squads
England Women have announced the Performance Programme intake U19 Training squad for the 2025/26 winter, with a total of five Hampshire players included.
Hampshire stars Ella McCaughan and Rhianna Southby have been selected among the thirteen-player Performance Programme, which will be led by England Women National Lead coaches Jon Lewis (Batting), Gareth Breese (Spin Bowling), Matt Mason (Pace Bowling) and Nick Wilton (WK/Fielding).
Meanwhile, twenty exciting prospects from across the game have been named in the U19 training squad, including Hampshire’s Mollie Adams, Eve O'Neill and Shristi Patil. The England Women U19 training squad will be headed up by England Women U19 Performance Lead, Chris Guest.
The purpose of the Performance Programme is to provide development opportunities to players across various skill-sets, on the back of the successful Pace Programme last winter.
Richard Bedbrook - England Women’s Head of Performance Pathways
This programme will provide individualised support, designed to accelerate each player’s development, working in collaboration with their county staff. The ultimate ambition is to provide each player with an opportunity to push their case for future England selection through continued performances within the domestic game and any England Women pathway activity.
There are three overseas training camps for England Women across January, February and March 2026 that players from this Performance Programme could well be a part of. Such opportunities will provide further experiences and exposure for these players on top of the training camps that will take place at the National Cricket Performance Centre.
For the U19s, there are eight camps at the National Cricket Performance Centre across the winter as this programme builds towards a tri-series against Australia and Sri Lanka in March/April 2026. The final England Women U19 touring party for the tri-series will be determined in the New Year.
