Having not featured in the T20s against Sri Lanka, opener Beaumont makes her return to the ODI squad.
Batter Tammy Beaumont has urged England to “get back to winning ways” as they prepare for their first ODI contest against Sri Lanka.
Chamari Athapaththu took three wickets for 21 runs as England were all out for 116 and the captain went on to smash 44 to steer her side to a 2-1 series victory.The win was Sri Lanka’s first-ever white-ball series win against England and Beaumont admitted it was a “tough series” for her teammates. “All credit to Sri Lanka, they have come over and played really well so far. The young players in the squad will certainly learn a lot and hopefully learn quickly and take it into tomorrow’s game.”
The T20 contests saw plenty of new faces given an opportunity to play, including Mahika Gaur and Maia Bouchier, something which England coach Jon Lewis described as a “valuable exercise”.Beaumont’s return to the squad comes off the back of a successful Ashes, where she scored a double ton in the Test match before contributing with the bat in the ODIs.
