Nat Sciver-Brunt will lead a 15-strong England squad containing four players from The Blaze to the upcoming ICC Women’s World Cup in India.

Sciver-Brunt is joined in the travelling party by her domestic teammates Tammy Beaumont, Amy Jones, and Sarah Glenn, the latter of whom returns to the ODI squad for the first time since June.

Glenn is one of four specialist spinners in the squad, as well as one of six players embarking on their first ODI World Cup.

The tournament runs from 30 September-2 November and will be the first ICC tournament for Sciver-Brunt as captain, as well as for Head Coach Charlotte Edwards.

Head Coach Charlotte Edwards said: “Being selected to play for your country in a World Cup is one of the biggest honours in sport and I’m delighted for all the players named in the squad.

“Like all global tournaments, it will be a huge challenge but we want to go as far as we possibly can in India and I believe that if we play our best cricket we can compete with anyone.

“Conditions mean we have gone for the extra spinner and we’re lucky to be able to have such depth in this department, it’s fantastic to welcome Sarah Glenn back. That does mean there’s no room for Kate Cross, Maia Bouchier or Alice Davidson-Richards, which will be disappointing for them.

“It’s also great to have Danni back in the squad, she’s been in good form in domestic cricket and she’ll bring dynamism and depth to our batting, alongside Heather, who we are absolutely delighted to be able to select. She’ll be a huge asset for us.

“India is an amazing place to play cricket, and as a group we have a huge opportunity to go and do something special. ODI World Cups are the pinnacle of our sport. They only come around every four years and we’re so excited to get over there to start our preparation.”
