England women name their squads for the two white-ball series against Pakistan, which begin later this month.
Linsey Smith has taken 14 T20 wickets at an average of 18 for England and her left-arm spin could be crucial at the T20 World Cup in BangladeshPlayers on the fringes of England's T20 World Cup squad will get opportunities to stake their claims during the two white-ball series against Pakistan this month, says head coach Jon Lewis.
Left-arm spinner Linsey Smith keeps her place in the T20 squad which beat New Zealand in March and April. However, all-rounder Freya Kemp will play only as a batter as England manage a long-standing back injury. “These two series against Pakistan give us an opportunity to build, develop and ensure we are in the best place come the World Cup in Bangladesh in September," said Lewis.
Fast bowler Mahika Gaur, 18, is unavailable because of A-Levels but should return later in the summer, when New Zealand visit.
