Danielle Wyatt has been selected by England Women for a batting and spin bowling training camp in Sri Lanka.

Twelve players from across the England women’s cricket pathway will take part in the intensive 12 day batting and spin bowling development camp in Colombo, starting on Sunday 19 April. It will also include three one-day matches against a Sri Lanka Women's A team.

And the Nottinghamshire off-spinning all-rounder, 23, who has 89 international caps, is expecting to learn a lot from her third time in the country.

"I'm sure I'll learn loads about batting and bowling in those conditions," Wyatt said.

"I want to play well over there because the World Twenty20 will soon come round and the conditions in India will be similar.

"There's an Ashes series this summer that I really want to be part of too, so this is my chance to show some form and hopefully get some runs and wickets in the matches over there.

"As a spin bowler I'll enjoy the pitches, but it's about batting against the turning ball too and getting over the heat and humidity. 

"I'm sure I'll learn some new skills and techniques that help me in the future.

"Sri Lanka holds loads of good memories for me from previous trips, so I'm really looking forward to getting back out there."

The ECB's Head of Women's Cricket Clare Connor revealed that, although the ICC World Twenty20 is a year away, this trip was arranged with the tournament very much in mind.

“Following on from the successful England Women's Development Programme U19 fast bowling camp to Potchefstroom at the start of the year, this is the next phase of player development for targeted players within the England women’s cricket pathway," Connor said.

 "The training camp is designed to challenge the players technically and mentally in difficult conditions on the subcontinent. 

"With the ICC World Twenty20 taking place in India in March 2016, the opportunity for this group of players to specifically focus on their bowling and batting against spin will be hugely beneficial in ensuring that they are well prepared to perform for England women in these conditions, should they be selected.”
