England A Women's Cricket Squad Heads to Australia for Multi-Format Series

The England Women’s 'A' cricket team is set to tour Australia from March 26 to April 15, featuring three T20s, three 50-over matches, and a four-day game, as they seek to recover from the senior team's recent 16-0 whitewash during the Ashes. Head Coach Jon Lewis emphasized the opportunity for players to showcase their skills against a strong Australian side, with several players aiming for selection in the senior team. Notable inclusions in the squad are young talents Alice Capsey and Freya Kemp, both of whom have extensive recent experience in international cricket. The squad also features returning player Paige Scholfield, who is making her comeback after injury, along with several promising members from the England Women’s Pace Programme. The tour follows a training camp in Abu Dhabi, where the players refined their skills in preparation for the challenging matches ahead. The England Cricket Board is hopeful that the competitive experience will accelerate the development of these young cricketers.
