Head Coach Lisa Keightley said: 鈥淲e鈥檝e picked what we think is our best T20 squad. We鈥檝e got one eye on taking our T20 game forward, but we do believe this squad gives us the best chance of success in the Commonwealth Games 鈥� and that鈥檚 something to be really excited by.
鈥淭20 cricket and women鈥檚 cricket in general is evolving all the time - and in order to put ourselves in a position to win global tournaments we have to move forward with it, be aggressive, be dynamic and part of our selection is about embracing that. Similarly we have selected players who are flexible, adaptable, fit in a number of roles and give us the most options for individual match-ups.
鈥淚t鈥檚 really exciting that we鈥檝e got so much competition for places. Obviously, it鈥檚 hard for those that miss out, it鈥檚 never nice to not be selected in a squad, but we鈥檙e not accustomed to having to make such difficult decisions and they are part of the game and an indication of how much the game is progressing.
鈥淲e now have players across the domestic game putting their hand up for selection, which is testament to the regional game, and we have real strength in depth, and that鈥檚 so important."
Captain Heather Knight said: 鈥淚t is such a massive opportunity for us and for the game to compete in the Commonwealth Games, especially on home soil.
鈥淲hen you鈥檙e younger you watch these multi-sport events but, as a cricketer, you don鈥檛 imagine you鈥檒l be out there representing Team England. It also gives us a brilliant chance to engage some young people in cricket who maybe haven鈥檛 played or watched it before.
鈥淚t鈥檚 a hugely exciting squad and for us as a group to have a chance to make history and be the first women鈥檚 cricketers to medal at the Commonwealth Games is something that can really drive us forward .鈥�
The Commonwealth Games will be hosted at Edgbaston and screened live on the BBC, with England鈥檚 first fixture against Sri Lanka on Saturday July 30. England have named the same 15-strong squad for the Vitality IT20 series against South Africa, starting at Chelmsford on Thursday July 21.
