A team spokesperson said, “All players and staff were asking to attend the tournament. After fully considering the quarantine schedule and post-quarantine protocol.”
“The well-being of our players and staff is our number one priority and we agree with Sarah in this decision.”
England Women’s Director of Cricket Jonathan Finch said. The World Cup provided an opportunity to “refocus our intentions soon. After the hopeless.” and “Accept the challenge of a global event”.
The England Women’s A Series :-
“The England Women’s A series running alongside. The Ashes enabled a wider group of players to compete for a spot in the team. Which made some tough calls on selection.” Said Jonathan Finch.
“Emma Lamb, a consistent performer in domestic cricket, joins the team. After making her international debut last summer and offers many options. Which as an all-rounder with the bat and with her off-spin bowling.”
