Sophie Ecclestone returns as England name squad for India tour
England have named their squads for their upcoming tour of India for the T20Is and One-Off Test in December. The biggest boost for England Women has been the comeback for spinner Sophie Eccleston who has returned to the side after undergoing a shoulder injury. India Women and England Women are scheduled to play a three-match T20I series and a One-Off Test match. Ecclestone had picked up injury during the Women’s Hundred tournament in August following which she underwent surgery. All-rounder Alice Capsey has been incorporated into the Test squad as she is set to make her debut.
“She’s the No.1 bowler in the world across both white-ball formats, she’s an obvious standout talent in women’s cricket. She’s a really good competitor, she loves winning. So she’s great to have around our side. For the girls to practice against a bowler like that, and for Charlie Dean and Sarah Glenn to pick her brains, and Alice Capsey as well, will be invaluable," England coach Jon Lewis said.
T20I Squad: Lauren Bell, Maia Bouchier, Alice Capsey, Charlie Dean, Sophia Dunkley, Sophie Ecclestone, Mahika Gaur, Danielle Gibson, Sarah Glenn, Bess Heath, Amy Jones, Freya Kemp, Heather Knight (capt), Nat Sciver-Brunt, Danielle Wyatt.
Test Squad: Tammy Beaumont, Lauren Bell, Alice Capsey, Kate Cross, Charlie Dean, Sophia Dunkley, Sophie Ecclestone, Lauren Filer, Bess Heath, Amy Jones, Heather Knight (capt), Emma Lamb, Nat Sciver-Brunt, Danielle Wyatt
