Kira, who recently earned her first call\u2011up to the senior England squad, will lead a side that includes three players capped at full international level - Jodi Grewcock, Ryana MacDonald\u2011Gay, and Charis Pavely. Several others who have impressed in domestic cricket, The Hundred, and England Women U19s are also picked.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The team will be coached by National Lead Batting Coach Jon JJ Lewis. \u201cThe India series will be another test of where this very talented group of players is at. Earning selection for an A side is proof you\u2019re on the right path, but the next challenge is scoring runs or taking wickets consistently in domestic cricket and pushing for senior selection.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cA series against another nation is always a positive thing, and I\u2019m sure we\u2019ll learn a lot from it. I\u2019m delighted for Kira, I\u2019m sure she\u2019ll look forward to leading the group, and I know she\u2019ll take a lot from it,\u201d he said in an ECB statement on Thursday.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
England A will play three T20s - on June 20 and 23 at County Ground in Northampton and on June 25 at Ambassador Cruise Line Ground in Essex.
