The England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) on Friday, November 10 announced England Women squad for their upcoming tour of India.

The England Women have notably named two squads for the next month series, which will be led by Heather Knight. The squads also include experience campaigners in Sophie Ecclestone, who will return post her shoulder surgery, Sophia Dunkley, Nat Sciver-Brunt and Daniel Wyatt to name a few. Wicketkeeper-batter Bess Heath has also been named in both the squads after making her debut in England’s ODI against Sri Lanka. On the other hand, Alice Capsey will be in line to make her Test debut after making it to the 14-member squad.
