Sarah Taylor and Georgia Elwiss named in Ashes Test squad

16 Jul 2019

Sussex Women duo Sarah Taylor and Georgia Elwiss have both been named in a squad of 13 for England's must-win Kia Women's Test against Australia on Thursday. 

Fellow Sussex player, Danni Wyatt, will stay with England Women's Academy to take part in T20s against Australia A and Ireland, ahead of the T20 series against Australia at the end of the month.

England have endured a tough start to the Ashes series after losing the first three ODIs, and captain Heather Knight knows the importance of this week's match. 

"It's obviously a very important match for us and we need to win it to stay in the series." said Knight.

"The beauty of the multi-format points series means we're still very much in the battle, a normal bilateral series that finished like the ODIs would have been finished but we can get back to 6-4 with a win in the Test match and that's exciting.

"The warm-up at Millfield was ideal. We saw batters get runs and spend time in the middle and the bowlers performed well to bowl out the opposition twice on a flat one. We're raring to go again to get back into the Ashes."

England take on Australia at The 1st Central Ground on Sunday 28th July. Click below for tickets!
