With England Women nearing the end of the white-ball series against India Women, the hosts have made a big decision ahead of the third and final ODI of the three-match series. It is to be noted that England Women are hosting India in a white-ball series, which consisted of five T20Is and three ODIs. While the Women in Blue claimed the T20I series by 3-2 margin, it all comes down to the series decider in the ODI leg as the winner in the final game will take home the series.
While the third ODI is set to be played at the Riverside Ground in Chester-le-Street on Tuesday, July 22, the England squad has released all-rounder Alice Capsey. Although, the 20-year-old might have made some impact with her all-round skills, but the side released her after being on the sidelines for the first two matches of the series.

Alice Capsey, who is a batting all-rounder, has so far played 26 ODI matches, scoring 343 runs at an average of 20.17 and a strike rate 79.95. She has been a key figure in the white-ball setup, playing 45 T20I matches and amassing 741 runs at a strike rate of 116.14. With the team management’s decision coming over Capsey, she will now take part in Surrey’s Women’s One Day Cup match against Hampshire at the Guildford Bason.
With England Women hoping to avenge their T20I series defeat, will hope to put their best game on the front when they host India in the decider on Tuesday. On the other hand, India Women will also hope to continue their winning run, winning the ODI series as well after t20I victory.
