In a highly anticipated announcement, the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) has ღrevealed the Women’s squads for the upcoming tour of India, featuring both Test and T20I series. The tour is scheduled to commence on December 6 with the T20I series, followed🎀 by a one-off Test match starting on December 14.
Sophie Ecclestone makes a comeback
A major highlight of the squad announcement is the return of England’s star spinner, Sophie Ecclestone, who has successfully recovered from a shoulder injury sustained during the Women’s Hundred last August. Ecclestone, known for her exceptional spin bowling, is set to play a crucial role in both the T20I and Test matches. Her inclusion brings a significant boost to England’s bowling depaꦦrtment.
“We have a nice blend of youth and experience. It’s an exciting squad and a group that is ready to take on the challenge of what will be a really tough series in India. We haven’t toured India for a number of years. We have players who have experienced playing in the Women’s Premier League but many haven’t played international cricket there before. Playing in Indian conditions is great preparation for our next two World Cups in the subcontinent and will be an amazing learning opportunity for both the players and the staff,” said England head coach Jon Lewis in a statement.
