Overview
- England’s selectors, who confirmed a 15-player group on Tuesday, named Nat Sciver-Brunt captain with off-spinner Charlie Dean as vice-captain.
- Tilly Corteen-Coleman, an uncapped 18-year-old left-arm spinner, earned a surprise call-up and joins Sophie Ecclestone and Linsey Smith to give England three left-arm spin options.
- Veteran batter Tammy Beaumont and rising Hundred standout Davina Perrin were left out, and leg-spinner Sarah Glenn was unavailable as she recovers from a broken finger.
- Pace spearhead Lauren Bell is backed by first-time World Cup picks Lauren Filer and Issy Wong, while Danni Wyatt-Hodge is set for a record eighth tournament appearance.
- England will tune up in white-ball series against New Zealand and India before opening against Sri Lanka at Edgbaston on 12 June in Group B with New Zealand, West Indies, Ireland and Scotland, after what head coach Charlotte Edwards called the toughest selection process of her tenure.
