All-Rounder Francesca Sweet Signs Two-Year Deal With Hampshire
Right-handed batter and medium pacer Francesca Sweet joins Hampshire following a successful trial period
James Vince has been named as part of an 18-strong group announced for the Royal London Series against Pakistan.
As a result, the Hampshire captain has been withdrawn from the remainder of this week's LV= Insurance County Championship fixture against Surrey.
The announcement comes after the news that three members of the initial playing group and four members of the management staff had tested positive for COVID-19, and consequently the entire squad initially selected - including Hampshire all-rounder Liam Dawson - was required to isolate.
Ben Stokes will return to the squad to captain the side and Chris Silverwood, who had been due to take some time away during the white-ball series, is back as Head Coach. In total, there are nine uncapped players in the squad.
Ben Stokes (Durham, captain)
Jake Ball (Nottinghamshire)
Danny Briggs (Warwickshire)
Brydon Carse (Durham)
Zak Crawley (Kent)
Ben Duckett (Nottinghamshire)
