LONDON: Sophia Dunkley and Issy Wong have been selected in a strong England Development XI to take on Pakistan on Thursday. The T20 game, which serves as a warm-up for the tourists ahead of two white-ball international series against England, takes place at Leicester with pace bowling coach Chris Liddle taking charge.
His side contains four players from the senior squad – Lauren Filer, Bess Heath, Linsey Smith and Dani Wyatt – and will be captained by Hollie Armitage of Northern Diamonds. But there will be great interest in the performance of top-order batter Dunkley, who has been dropped from both formats after a lean run of form and told to rediscover her rhythm. Pace bowler Wong, meanwhile, remains firmly on the national side’s radar but needs to find a level of consistency before coming back to the highest level.
