ENGLAND women have named a squad of 14 for their Royal London ODI Test against South Africa at Blackfinch New Road on Saturday.

Katherine Brunt, who worked for a spell as a coach with the Worcestershire Cricket Board, Georgia Elwiss, Laura Marsh, Sarah Taylor and Lauren Winfield all return having missed the tour to India.

England have not played a 50-over game on home soil since they lifted the ICC Women’s World Cup trophy at Lord’s in July last year.

After locking horns at Worcestershire’s home ground, England will take on South Africa at Central County Ground on Tuesday, June 12 and at the Spitfire Ground, Canterbury on Friday, June 15.

The ODI series will then be followed by an IT20 tri-series also involving New Zealand, before three ODIs between England and New Zealand at the beginning of July.

England women’s coach Mark Robinson said: “It should be a really exciting summer against two of the best teams in the world.

“South Africa are an up and coming team with some really dangerous players. They pushed us close the last time we met them and we will have to be at our best to beat them.

“It’s obviously great to have Katherine and Sarah back, and Lauren and Laura’s recent form has earned them recalls.”
