England Women's Cricket Team's T20 World Cup Prep Shifted
6 Mar
Summary
- England women's training camp moved from UAE to Pretoria, South Africa.
- Trip relocation due to ongoing Middle East geopolitical tensions.
- Two squads will compete in a five-match T20 series in South Africa.
The England women's training camp, originally scheduled for the UAE, has been moved to Pretoria, South Africa. This decision comes as a consequence of ongoing geopolitical events in the Middle East. The tour is critical for England's preparations for this summer's T20 World Cup.
As the team has not played since October and has no winter fixtures, this South African tour provides essential competitive practice. Two distinct squads, 'Team Heyhoe Flint' and 'Team Brittin', will compete in a five-match T20 series from March 10 to March 27.
Several players are set to make their mark, with eight uncapped players named across the two squads. Leg-spinner Sarah Glenn is notably absent due to a broken finger. Head coach Charlotte Edwards will oversee both teams during the preparation phase.
