England's Women's T20 World Cup squad has been announced, with notable exclusions and inclusions. Davina Perrin has been left out, while 18-year-old Tilly Corteen-Coleman, who is yet to be capped, has been included.
The squad will be led by captain Nat Sciver-Brunt, who will be participating in her seventh T20 World Cup. Corteen-Coleman, who has been performing well in domestic cricket and The Hundred, will be joined by other newcomers, including Issy Wong and Lauren Filer.
The team's vice-captain, Charlie Dean, will be supporting Sciver-Brunt, along with experienced players like Danni Wyatt-Hodge, who will be playing in her eighth T20 World Cup. The squad's head coach, Charlotte Edwards, stated that the selection process was challenging due to the strong pool of players available.
Edwards expressed her excitement about the upcoming tournament, which will be held on home soil, and believes that the team has the potential to achieve great things. The captain, Sciver-Brunt, also shared her enthusiasm, saying that leading the team in a home T20 World Cup is a huge honor and that the team is motivated to win the tournament. England will face Scotland and Ireland in the World Cup, and their matches will be streamed live on Sky Sports.
