Star bowler returns as England name squad for India series
Ecclestone, ranked No.1 and No.4 in the ICC Women's ODI & T20I Bowler Rankings respectively, returns following her temporary break from cricket. The England squad, who are already brimming with confidence after a dominant 3-0 series win over West Indies in the T20I as well as ODI series, will be bostered by her return. This series marked a successful start to Charlotte Edwards' tenure as head coach and Nat Sciver-Brunt's captaincy. Pacer Lauren Filer also makes a return to the squad after missing out on the West Indies series last month. Best of Sophie Ecclestone | WT20WC 2024 England spinner Sophie Ecclestone shone with the ball at the ICC Women's T20 World Cup in 2024 Amy Jones, who has been rising rapidly in the ICC Women's Player Rankings has also been named in the strong unit. England Squad: Em Arlott, Tammy Beaumont, Lauren Bell, Alice Capsey, Charlie Dean, Sophia Dunkley, Sophie Ecclestone, Lauren Filer, Amy Jones, Nat Sciver-Brunt (c), Paige Scholfield, Linsey Smith, Danni Wyatt-Hodge, Issy Wong Nat Sciver-Brunt, England's storming all-rounder | ICC 100% Cricket Icons A deeper look at what sets star all-rounder Nat Sciver-Brunt apart as a 100% Cricket Icon through the eyes of Mel Jones, Edwards expressed her excitement about the prospect of facing India as well as the return of star spinner Ecclestone. 'There was lots to be happy about in the West Indies series but equally lots of things we want to keep improving on - we're always looking at getting better. Five games against India in front of big crowds at great venues will serve us really well. This is a significant series for us with the countdown well and truly underway towards the home ICC Women's T20 World Cup," Edwards said. 'It's great to have Soph back, and we're looking forward to having her back in the group. She has obvious qualities and she'll be an asset to us. 'It does mean Sarah Glenn misses out, we are blessed with a strong group of spinners and we unfortunately can't play them all. It's now a great opportunity for Sarah to go back to The Blaze and play some competitive cricket in the Vitality Blast.'

LIVE: Dominant India cruising against Sri Lanka
India take charge with the bat to post commanding total | Innings Highlights | WT20WC 2024 Harmanpreet Kaur and Smriti Mandhana starred as India's top order put Sri Lanka to the sword in Dubai having won the toss and opted to bat first in this crucial Group A contest. Mandhana hit a sublime 50 (38 balls), putting on a stand of 98 for the first wicket with Shafali Verma (43) to set India up for a big total. And captain Kaur launched India up to the tournament's highest total, plundering 52 runs from just 27 deliveries, and finishing off her knock with back-to-back fours to leave Sri Lanka needing 173 to keep their World Cup alive. And the Lankans had an inauspicious start to their reply, losing their top three cheaply and limping to 54/4 at the midway point of the innings. WATCH: Radha Yadav's stunning catch Radha Yadav takes a stunner to give India the perfect start | WT20WC 2024 Harmanpreet Kaur won the toss and opted to bat first against Sri Lanka in Dubai. And the Indian openers took advantage of the opportunity to put runs on the board, building a strong partnership to end the powerplay unbeaten. WATCH: Shafali Verma gets off to a flier against Sri Lanka Shafali Verma off to a flier | WT20WC 2024 It was Shafali Verma who set the early tempo against a spin-heavy Sri Lanka attack, with Smriti Mandhana getting in on the act after giving herself time to get in. Mandhana hit the game's first maximum, and at the halfway point of the innings the pair were still out in the middle, with the score accelerating to 78/0. Mandhana reached her half century, but Sri Lanka hit back with two wickets in two balls, with Mandhana run out for 50 before Verma departed for 43. Yet the wickets did little to stem India's flow, as Jemimah Rodrigues hit a quickfire 16 (10) and Richa Ghosh contributed a run-a-ball 6* , both playing a supporting role to an extravagant knock from the captain. Harmanpreet Kaur's innings was arguably the best of the tournament so far, with the Indian skipper slamming nine boundaries to finish unbeaten on 52* from just 27 deliveries, boosting her side's total to 172/3 – the highest so far at this World Cup.
