Warwickshire have kept a strong core from the Central Sparks days, with Georgia Davis, who earned her first England cap against Ireland last September, stepping up into the captaincy role.
18-year-old batter Davina Perrin is a star for the future and is the youngest player ever to gain a Hundred deal, when she was aged just 15 years old.
Seam bowler Emily Arlott has been on the fringes of international selection before when she earned a call up to the Test squad in 2022, whilst Hannah Baker and Charis Pavely are the leaders of the spin attack.
