The England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) has named a strong 14-player squad for England Women’s upcoming five-match T20I series against India. While Sarah Glenn has missed out from the squad, star left-arm spinner Sophie Ecclestone will be making her return to international cricket through the series.

Nat Sciver-Brunt will continue to lead England Women, shortly after walloping West Indies Women in T20Is and ODIs at home.

Sophie Ecclestone, who took a break for her mental well-being, is set to make her return to international cricket for England Women through the upcoming five-match T20I series against India later this month. The 26-year-old was included in England’s 14-player squad by the ECB on Friday, June 13.

Sarah Glenn, however, was excluded from the English line-up that trounced West Indies 3-0 at home late last month. Nat Sciver-Brunt will continue to lead England, and she will be accompanied by fellow star performers like Alice Capsey, Lauren Bell, Charlie Dean and Danni Wyatt-Hodge among others. Here is a look at England’s squad T20I squad for the series against India.
