Three Sussex players in England squad for Women's T20 World Cup

17 Jan 2020

Three Sussex players have been named in England’s squad for the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup in South Africa next month.

Sussex are the best represented county in the squad with Freya Davies, Georgia Elwiss and Danni Wyatt included in a 15-strong group.

The tournament is new head coach Lisa Keightley’s first in charge. She said: "It's really exciting to name our squad for the ICC Women's T20 World Cup and we're looking forward to getting out there and getting underway.

"It was very useful to join the group in Malaysia and watch how they were getting on and since then we've had a training block out in La Manga.

"There are few better feelings in cricket than representing your country in a World Cup and I know everyone's really looking forward to the challenge."

Prior to the T20 World Cup, England's new era will start with a tri-series against tournament hosts Australia and India, with two fixtures against each team and a final for the teams who finish first and second. The matches will be played in Canberra and Melbourne.

England's tournament proper gets underway against South Africa at the WACA on Sunday February 23, after two warm-up fixtures against New Zealand and Sri Lanka.
