Vipers Trio Called Up For England Women U19s Preparation Group
Ava Lee, Abi Norgrove & Mary Taylor will take part in a preparation group in January ahead of a tour in Sri Lanka
Southern Vipers' trio Ava Lee, Abi Norgrove and Mary Taylor have been selected as part of a England Women's U19 preparation group ahead of their tour of Sri Lanka to take on the hosts and Australia in a Tri Series (March 2024-April 2024).
Both T20 and 50-over formats will be played across the tour, with more details including dates and locations to be announced in due course.
The preparation group will commence a series of winter camps in Loughborough in January before a reduced tour squad is announced at a later date.
Meanwhile, Chris Guest (currently Regional Head Coach at The Blaze and Assistant Coach at Northern Superchargers) is named as Head Coach with Courtney Winfield-Hill, former Senior Regional Talent Manager at Northern Diamonds, Assistant Coach at Trent Rockets in the Hundred and most recently with Brisbane Heat in the Women’s Big Bash League and Darren Franklin, Senior Regional Talent Manager for Central Sparks, as Assistant Coaches.
Within the Preparation Phase player group are a number of players that attended the inaugural ICC Women’s U19 World Cup in South Africa in January 2023 and who are still age-eligible. They are joined by some players who are U19 for the 2024 season only and some players who will also remain as U19 players for the second Women’s U19 World Cup in Malaysia in January 2025 and therefore will be in contention for that programme later in 2024.
England Women U19 preparation group: Meg Austin (Central Sparks), Summer Carrington (Thunder), Tilly Corteen-Coleman (South East Stars), Jodi Grewcock (Sunrisers), Josie Groves (The Blaze), Lola Harris (Western Storm), Trudy Johnson (Northern Diamonds), Katie Jones (Western Storm), Charlotte Lambert (South East Stars), Ava Lee (Southern Vipers), Abi Norgrove (Southern Vipers), Charis Pavely (Central Sparks), Davina Perrin (Central Sparks), Sophia Smale (Western Storm), Alexa Stonehouse (South East Stars), Charlotte Stubbs (South East Stars), Amu Surenkumar (Sunrisers), Mary Taylor (Southern Vipers), Erin Thomas (Northern Diamonds), Maddie Ward (Northern Diamonds)
