Vipers' Bouchier & Dean Earn First England Women Call-Ups

Southern Vipers stars Maia Bouchier and Charlie Dean have been called up to the England Women’s squad for the first time for the three-match Vitality IT20 series against New Zealand.

The duo join Vipers batter Dani Wyatt in the 17-player squad and are the only additions to the group which overcame India 2-1 in the IT20s in July.

We’re looking at more players than ever before, which is so exciting.
In the past selection meetings have by necessity been quite focused on the Centrally Contracted group, but the fact that so many other players are sticking their hand up and pushing for selection is testament to the progress the domestic structure is allowing the women’s game to make.
We’re seeing improvements across the board, and there were a number of young English players who also shone in The Hundred, which bodes really well for the future.
This is another big series for us, and I want the team to continue from where they left off in the series win over India.
Lisa Keightley, Head Coach
The Vitality IT20 series gets underway on Wednesday September 1 at Chelmsford. The squad for the five-match Royal London Series will be announced at a later date.
