England Women have named the two player squads for next month’s IT20 series and four-day Test match away to India.

Kent captain Tammy Beaumont is in the Test squad after scoring a history-making Ashes double-hundred this Summer, becoming the first homegrown Kent cricketer, regardless of gender, to score a century across all three international formats.

England will play three IT20s (Wankhede Stadium) and a four-day Test match (DY Patil Stadium) in Mumbai next month, touring India for the first time since 2019.

Heather Knight’s side will travel to Oman (17 November-2 December) for a training camp before their opening IT20 fixture at Wankhede Stadium.

For England A, Kent starlet Grace Scrivens is joined by county teammates Ryana MacDonald-Gay, Kalea Moore, Kirstie Gordon, Tash Farrant & Alice Davidson-Richards.

Following surgery for a stress fracture of the lumbar spine in June, Farrant is included where she will continue to progress her return to competitive bowling.

A reduced 14-player squad will be named for the IT20 fixtures against India A with those not selected remaining in Oman to train with England Women.

Head coach Jon Lewis said: “We have a nice blend of youth and experience. It’s an exciting squad and a group that is ready to take on the challenge of what will be a really tough series in India.

“We haven’t toured India for a number of years. We have players who have experienced playing in the Women’s Premier League but many haven’t played international cricket there before. Playing in Indian conditions is great preparation for our next two World Cups in the subcontinent and will be an amazing learning opportunity for both the players and the staff.

“We respect the Indian team and are really looking forward to the challenge.”
