England and India will lock horns in a three-match women's ODI series against India from July 16.
The England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) have announced the 15-member women’s squad for the upcoming ODI series against India. After having missed the series against West Indies, senior spinner Sophie Ecclestone has made a comeback to the side along with Maia Bouchier.
Captain Nat Sciver-Brunt, who suffered a groin injury during the second T20I against India and will miss the rest of the series, also returns to the squad for the ODIs. “Captain Nat Sciver-Brunt is expected to play a full part in the series despite missing the end of the Vitality IT20 series with a groin injury,” the ECB said in a statement.
“Also in the squad is Lauren Filer, who’ll be looking to make her first ODI appearance since the Ashes in the winter. The Durham seamer, who averaged 76mph in her match-defining four-over spell at the Kia Oval on Friday night, is continuing her return from a knee injury,” the statement added.
Sophie Ecclestone’s presence in the England women’s ODI side will be a massive boost for the hosts. In 72 ODIs, the 26-year-old has taken 120 wickets at an average of 19.87 and 3.69.
