"England's head coach Charlotte Edwards announced a squad for the home T20 World Cup that starts on 12 June almost exactly the same as the one that surrendered the Ashes, by a score of 16-0, 15 months ago."
"The conservatism of Edwards and her selection panel comes as no surprise, with the main selection news last summer being the discarding of Kate Cross, who did not play in the Ashes due to injury."
"The beginnings of a tiny generational shift are apparent in her decision to bring the Surrey wicketkeeper Kira Chathli and the Essex all-rounder Jodi Grewcock into the ODI squad against New Zealand in May."
"England have ignored the precocious talents of the 19-year-old Davina Perrin, who scored a century in last season's Hundred."
England's head coach Charlotte Edwards announced a T20 World Cup squad nearly identical to the one that suffered a 16-0 defeat in the Ashes. The selection reflects a conservative approach, with only one new cap awarded to Em Arlott. Despite a slight generational shift with the inclusion of Kira Chathli and Jodi Grewcock in the ODI squad, they will not participate in the World Cup. Key players include Sophia Dunkley, Danni Wyatt-Hodge, and Amy Jones, while the selectors overlooked promising talent like Davina Perrin.
