Three Vipers Selected In England Women A Squad For IT20 Series Against India A
Three Vipers Selected In England Women A Squad For IT20 Series Against India A
England Women A have named their squad to take on India A in their forthcoming IT20 series
Southern Vipers Off-spinner Charlie Dean will captain the 13-player group who will travel to India on Sunday.
Freya Kemp and Rhianna Southby are also included in the squad, after fine individual seasons for the Vipers.
After a fortnight-long training camp in Oman, the squad will fine-tune their preparations in Mumbai ahead of three IT20 fixtures taking place on Wednesday 29 November, Friday 1 December and Sunday 3 December at the Wankhede Stadium.
Alice Davidson-Richards withdrew from the squad and remained in the UK following a family bereavement while Thunder’s Liberty Heap has returned home after fracturing her clavicle. She will see a specialist to plan next stages of her treatment.
Tash Farrant will remain in Oman with the England Women senior group as she continues her return to competitive bowling.
Leading the England Women A squad as head coach for the A series in India, as he has done across the preparation phase in Oman, is fielding and wicket keeping performance coach Michael Bates.
We’re all thoroughly looking forward to the forthcoming T20 fixtures in India. We’ve enjoyed a very productive camp in Oman; the group have trained well, worked hard and really come together as a team. It’s been brilliant exposure for the England Women A players to have the opportunity to work alongside the England Women performance coaches as well as integrating with the senior players. It’s brought another element to our preparation and has enhanced the growth of the group. These three fixtures against India A will be a great way of testing our skills and our ability to compete and will undoubtedly provide another exciting learning opportunity for the players.
