Strong Vipers Contingent Selected In England Women Squads For Tour Of New Zealand
Strong Vipers Contingent Selected In England Women Squads For Tour Of New Zealand
The England Women IT20 and ODI squads for the forthcoming tour to New Zealand have been named
A number of Southern Vipers have been selected by England Women's white-ball tour of New Zealand, which begins in March.
Linsey Smith has been included in the squad for the first three IT20 matches before Sophie Ecclestone returns from the WPL and will be joined by Lauren Bell, Maia Bouchier and Charlie Dean. Danni Wyatt will join up with the squad for the fourth and fifth matches of the series, after the conclusion of the WPL.
Bell, Bouchier, Dean and Wyatt have all been included in the ODI squad, which concludes on the 6th April in Hamilton.
England will play five IT20s and a three match ODI series with the tour starting in Dunedin and further fixtures taking place in Nelson, Wellington and Hamilton.
Linsey (Smith) has been performing for a long period of time at a high level and gives us a high quality left-arm spin option.
With Sophie Ecclestone unavailable for the first three IT20 matches, Linsey is, in my opinion, the second best left-arm spinner in the country in T20 format.
She has recently been to the Women’s Big Bash League (WBBL) and Super Smash in New Zealand where she has enhanced her skills and played a lot of cricket.
Jon Lewis, England Women Head Coach
Meanwhile, Georgia Adams, Rhianna Southby and Freya Kemp have been named in the England Women A squad which will be playing three T20s and three 50 over matches in Queenstown, Dunedin and Nelson.
Kemp will tour as a batter only, following a reccurrence of a back injury.
