The squad sees a couple of notable returns as Sophie Ecclestone and Maia Bouchier are back in the mix, while most of the core group from the recent West Indies series remains intact.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Left-arm spinner Ecclestone is back in the ODI setup after missing the West Indies series, providing a significant boost to England\u2019s bowling attack. Bouchier, who has been in fine form domestically, has also earned a recall to add depth to the batting line-up.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Captain Nat Sciver-Brunt, who ruled out of the last three T20Is against India due to a groin injury, is expected to return to full fitness in time for the ODIs. Fast bowler Lauren Filer, who made a strong impression with her pace in the T20I at The Oval, has also been included as she continues her comeback from a knee injury.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Head coach Charlotte Edwards acknowledged the intensity of the recent T20I battles against India and emphasised that her side is continuing to evolve. \u201cIndia have really pushed us during the Vitality IT20 series. We knew they would, and we\u2019ve learned a lot about the team in the three games so far. There have been some good moments, but we\u2019re a team in transition and we need to keep working hard,\u201d she said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Reflecting on the victory at The Oval, Edwards added, \u201cFriday night was high drama and we were delighted to keep ourselves in the series. I\u2019m very proud of the character and the fight the players showed.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cThis series is perfect preparation for the ICC Women\u2019s World Cup in India this autumn, but it\u2019s also a series we\u2019re determined to win.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n
