England's Skipper Set to Rejoin Team

London [UK], July 8: England's captain Nat Sciver Brunt is set to rejoin the squad for the upcoming ODI series against India after recovering from a groin injury, as reported by the International Cricket Council (ICC).

Sciver Brunt picked up the injury during the second match of the current T20I series, which led to her absence from the third match and the rest of the series.

In her absence, Tammy Beaumont took over as captain for the remaining T20I matches, with India currently leading the series 2-1 ahead of the fourth match scheduled for July 9.

Additionally, spinner Sophie Ecclestone, who is ranked as the top ODI bowler in women's cricket, will also return to the ODI lineup after missing the West Indies series in May and June due to a knee injury.

Since her recovery, Ecclestone has successfully participated in all three T20I matches against India.

Consequently, leg-spinner Sarah Glenn will not be part of the ODI squad.

Maia Bouchier, who stepped in for Sciver Brunt during the T20Is, has also been recalled after missing the white-ball series against the West Indies.

The ODI series will commence on July 16.

England squad: Nat Sciver-Brunt (captain), Em Arlott, Tammy Beaumont, Lauren Bell, Maia Bouchier, Alice Capsey, Kate Cross, Alice Davidson-Richards, Charlie Dean, Sophia Dunkley, Sophie Ecclestone, Lauren Filer, Amy Jones, Emma Lamb, Linsey Smith.
