England Cricket-women’s Ashes squad named for Australia tour in January.


 

England women’s selectors today named a 15-player squad for the England women’s tour of Australia in January.

England Cricket womens Ashes squad named for Australia tour in January.

 

Pace bowler Katherine Brunt will return to the squad following a period of strength and conditioning as will left-arm spinner Holly Colvin after a busy three months of University studies. England stalwart Beth Morgan will also re-join the squad as they head Down Under to defend their Ashes crown.

 

England Women’s Academy graduates Susie Rowe and Fran Wilson have secured a place in the squad after both demonstrated their skills to selectors on the recent tour of Sri Lanka.

 

England will play three One Day Internationals, a five match international Twenty20 series and a four-day Test for the women’s Ashes from 5th-25th January.

 

The 1st and 2nd Twenty20 matches will be played directly before England men play Australia on 12th and 14th January, at the Adelaide Oval and the MCG respectively. Both of these matches will be broadcast live on Sky Sports.

 

Clare Connor, Head of England Women’s Cricket said: ‘After an unbeaten tour to Sri Lanka, the selectors have made a few adjustments to the squad that will travel to Australia. The recent Sri Lanka tour successfully exposed some of our recent Academy graduates to international cricket, all of whom took their opportunities with Susie Rowe and Fran Wilson retaining their spots for the tour to Australia.  Every cricketer dreams of a tour to Australia and I am confident that this squad will return with many successes to speak of, most notably with the Ashes retained.’
