England have added Maia Bouchier and Alice Davidson-Richards to their T20I squad for the five-match T20I series against West Indies.
The development comes after young all-rounder Alice Capsey sustained a blow to her left shoulder during her attempt to save the boundary in the 1st ODI against the Caribbean team. The scans revealed the seriousness of the injury, which resulted in her returning home.
Bouchier has represented England in 14 T20Is and garnered 117 runs at an average of 19.50 However, she recently missed out on securing a central contract from ECB last month.
On the other hand, Alice has featured in 1 Test, 3 ODIs and 5 T20Is. In her last ODI appearance against India, she hit an unbeaten 50* in September. The 28-year-old is currently part of the ODI squad and will extend her stay to be part of the shorter formats as well.
Meanwhile, England have secured a 2-0 ODI series victory against West Indies. In the second game, they hit 260 and won by 142 runs in the second ODI. The final game will be played on Friday.
