England have announced their squad for the Women’s T20 World Cup in the United Arab Emirates in October. It includes 11 of the 15 players who reached the semi-finals of last year’s tournament in South Africa.
Linsey Smith, the 29‑year‑old spinner who was called back into the international team in March after an absence of nearly five years and whose previous experience of a World Cup was in 2018, has capped her return by winning a place alongside the all-rounder Freya Kemp, who is 10 years her junior.
