England has named its 15-player squad for the Women's T20 World Cup, which will be held on home soil this summer. The selection includes uncapped 18-year-old spinner Tilly Corteen-Coleman, marking a significant opportunity for the young talent.
Squad Overview
Nat Sciver-Brunt will captain the side, which blends youth and experience. The squad features quick bowlers Lauren Filer and Issy Wong, as well as all-rounder Dani Gibson. However, experienced top-order batter Tammy Beaumont has been omitted, while leg-spinner Sarah Glenn misses out due to a broken finger. This has opened the door for three left-arm spin options.
Selection Challenges
Head coach Charlotte Edwards described the selection process as “incredibly tough” due to the strong pool of players available. She emphasised the special nature of a home World Cup, noting the excitement and pressure that comes with competing on home ground.
Tournament Details
England will open their campaign against Sri Lanka on 12 June at Edgbaston. They are placed in Group B alongside Ireland, New Zealand, Scotland, and the West Indies. The final is scheduled for 5 July at Lord's.
The squad reflects a strategic blend of youth and experience, aiming to leverage home advantage in the tournament.
