England Women have today announced their squad for the upcoming ICC Women’s World Cup, set to begin on Friday 4th March.
Southern Vipers’ Charlie Dean and Danni Wyatt have been selected as a part of the 15-player squad, whilst bowler Lauren Bell will also make the trip to New Zealand as a travelling reserve.
The trio played major roles in the Vipers’ 50-over success last year, as they lifted the 2021 Rachel Heyhoe Flint Trophy for the second time in as many years.
Heather Knight’s England side are the current holders of the ICC Women's World Cup and will be looking to retain the trophy that they lifted at Lord’s in 2017.
“The ICC Women’s World Cup is a special event in the international women’s cricket calendar and we are excited by the squad we have selected.
Jonathan Finch, Director of England Women’s Cricket
“The chance to refocus our intentions immediately after the disappointment of the Ashes is exciting and provides an opportunity to embrace the challenge of a global event.
“Success at World Cups is often the pinnacle of a player’s career and we wish all those selected all the best in their quest to win on the world stage.”
Australia will be the team’s first opponents and the two will meet on Saturday 5th March at Seddon Park, Hamilton.
