Hampshire Bowling Duo Selected for England Duty
Lauren Bell and Linsey Smith have been selected in the England Women's squad to face West Indies
Southern Vipers can confirm that Tash Farrant will miss the remainder of the 2018 Kia Super League due to injury.
Farrant, who tops the list of Vipers' wicket-takers so far this summer, sustained a fractured collarbone whilst fielding during her side’s match against Loughborough Lightning at Loughborough last Saturday, and will have surgery today (Tuesday 7th August).
Hampshire all-rounder Emily Windsor has been drafted in to take the vacant place in the squad and will be available for selection for the final four group-stage fixtures.
Tash will be a big loss to the squad having performed well this campaign, and we all wish her a speedy recovery.
Nick Denning, Southern Vipers Head Coach
We have added Emily Windsor to our squad in Tash’s place. Emily has had a strong year for Hampshire and she will bring a lot of energy to the group as an all-rounder on and off the pitch - she has been training with us in the early part of the tournament and will fit in perfectly with the squad.
Suzie Bates' Vipers side return to the The Ageas Bowl tomorrow to take on Yorkshire Diamonds in the latest instalment of Kia Super League action.
