Seamer Lauren Filer and all-rounder Danielle Gibson have earned their maiden international call-ups as England Women announced their 15-member squad for the upcoming Ashes series against Australia.
"We are fortunate that our talent pool is growing fast, this has enabled us to pick a nicely balanced squad," head coach Jon Lewis said in a statement. "Lauren is a genuine wicket-taking threat with good pace and swing. Again, if selected in the playing 11, she offers us a point of difference in our bowling attack that could impact a test match at any point in the game."
The Ashes will begin with a test match at Trent Bridge in Nottingham from June 22-26. The multi-format series will include one test match, three One-Day Internationals and three Twenty20s.
