England name squad for Women’s T20 World Cup as uncapped teenager earns call-up

  • England has announced its 15-player squad for the Women's T20 World Cup on home soil, with 18-year-old uncapped spinner Tilly Corteen-Coleman included.
  • Nat Sciver-Brunt will captain the side, which blends youth and experience, featuring quick bowlers Lauren Filer and Issy Wong, and all-rounder Dani Gibson.
  • Experienced top-order batter Tammy Beaumont has been omitted from the squad, while leg-spinner Sarah Glenn misses out due to a broken finger, making way for three left-arm spin options.
  • Head coach Charlotte Edwards described the selection process as “incredibly tough” due to the strong pool of players, emphasising the special nature of a home World Cup.
  • England will open their campaign against Sri Lanka on 12 June at Edgbaston, competing in Group B against Ireland, New Zealand, Scotland and the West Indies, with the final scheduled for Lord's on 5 July.
