Recalled England Women's T20I spinner, despite absence from domestic cricket

Sophie Effin' Ecclestone Makes a Comeback, Sarah Glenn Misses Out

After a nasty quad injury and a brief hiatus from domestic cricket, Sophie Ecclestone, the crafty English spin sensation, is back in the T20I squad, set to face India later this month.

Sayonara, Sarah Glenn?

Ecclestone's return comes at a cost for Sarah Glenn, who played one T20I against West Indies but managed to snag only wicketless overs. In a heated selection contest, Linsey Smith, the left-arm spinner from Hampshire, took Glenn's spot in the squad.

Charlotte Edwards, England's new head coach, shared her thoughts on the situation, stating, "We've got a kick-ass squad of spin bowlers, and we can't play them all. It's high time Sarah went back to The Blaze and smoked some balls in the Vitality Blast."

Arlott's Debut Impresses, Scholfield Joins the Fray

Em Arlott, the impressive all-rounder, has been kept on the team after her debut series against West Indies, where she took five wickets in just two T20Is. Paige Scholfield, who failed to make it onto the West Indies series roster, has secured a spot in the India series squad.
