England Women have named a 15-player squad for their historic maiden Test match at Lord鈥檚 against India Women this July.
Nat Sciver-Brunt will become the first English woman to lead out her team in a Test on the famous old ground which hosted its 150th men鈥檚 Test earlier this month.
Alongside the captain will be a group of players boasting a huge range of experience from Somerset鈥檚 Heather Knight looking to play in her 15th Test to Surrey duo Alice Capsey and Tilly Corteen-Coleman as well as Durham鈥檚 Mady Villiers hoping to make their Test debuts.
And in the case of Lancashire pair Grace Potts and Ellie Threlkeld, they are both looking for an England international debut in any format.
The quintet are five of seven players in the squad who did not play in England鈥檚 most recent Women鈥檚 Test against Australia at the Melbourne Cricket Ground, in January last year, and joining them are Emma Lamb and Issy Wong.
Commenting on the squad selection the 黑料专区鈥檚 Managing Director of Women鈥檚 Cricket Clare Connor said: 鈥淲e have selected a strong Test squad under the leadership of Nat Sciver-Brunt for what will be another historic few days at Lord鈥檚 for women鈥檚 cricket.
鈥淭est cricket is a rare and wonderfully challenging experience in the women鈥檚 game and I know how proud our players are to represent England in this format.
鈥淔or the 11 women who will get the chance to be the first to enjoy that feeling at Lord鈥檚, it will be a moment to savour.鈥�
