Capsey, Corteen-Coleman In Line For Test Debut After Being Included In Englands Squad For India Clash

T20 World Cup: Batting all-rounder Alice Capsey and left-arm spinner Tilly CorteenColeman are in line for their maiden Test appearances after being named in Englands 15member squad for the historic one-off clash against India, to be played at Lords from July 10-13. Crucially, the one-off Test match will take place five days after the Womens T20 World Cup final is staged at Lords. Apart from the duo currently participating in the mega event, Mady Villiers will also hope to make her Test debut, while the Lancashire duo of pacer Grace Potts and wicketkeeper-batter Ellie Threlkeld could earn their first international cap in any format for England. Batter Emma Lamb and fast bowler Issy Wong have also been included after not being a part of Englands most recent Test against Australia at the Melbourne Cricket Ground in January last year, while Charlie Dean misses out. The four-day match, set to be the first womens Test to be played at Lords, comes after the iconic venue hosted its 150th mens Test earlier this month via England-New Zealand clash. Nat SciverBrunt is all set to become the first England womens captain to lead her side in a Test at Lords, while Heather Knight is looking to play in her 15th Test match.
