England name Lord's Test squad to face India
England have named a 15-player squad to play India in a four-day Test at Lord's from 10-13 July, led by Nat Sciver-Brunt who will become the first English woman to lead her team onto the famous ground. Tammy Beaumont returns after missing the T20 World Cup squad, while vice-captain Charlie Dean is not included. The squad mixes experience and newcomers: Heather Knight may play her 15th Test, and Surrey's Alice Capsey and Tilly Corteen-Coleman plus Durham's Mady Villiers are candidates for Test debuts, while Grace Potts and Ellie Threlkeld seek first England caps.
Nat Sciver-Brunt will captain England's first women's Test at Lord's.
