Tredwell named in England World Twenty20 squad

The ECB today named three Kent players in the final England men’s and women’s squads for the forthcoming ICC World Twenty20 to be held in the Caribbean from April 30.

After an impressive tour of Bangladesh, James Tredwell (pictured)justifiably keeps his place in the national side.

The England women’s squad includes Kent duo Charlotte Edwards, who skippers the side, and Lydia Greenway as they look to defend their ICC World Twenty20 crown.

Commenting on his selection, Tredwell said: “I“m naturally delighted to earn selection for the World t20. Being part of the tour of Bangladesh, and making my Test and ODI debut, was a great thing for me. Now I want to really take it forward. This is good recognition for both me and Kent cricket. I guess it shows that I must be doing something right to maintain my place in the national squad.”
