Charlie Dean to captain England Women against Ireland in three-match ODI series

Charlie Dean will captain England Women against Ireland Women in September for the three-match ODI series.

Dean was stand-in captain at the start of the season in an ODI series against New Zealand due to an injury to Nat Sciver-Brunt, and she will round things off with three more ODIs.

Sciver-Brunt and Danni Wyatt-Hodge have not been selected due to "managing fitness and recovery". Sophie Ecclestone and Lauren Bell have also not been selected.

Alice Capsey will also be wicketkeeper in the absence of Amy Jones, who rounds out the five senior players not selected for this series "in order to widen and deepen the pool of players for England Women in ODI cricket".

Dean will captain a 15-player squad filled both with players who have plenty of international experience, as well as others looking to take their earliest steps at the highest level.

Seam bowler Grace Potts and keeper-batter Kira Chathli are the only two uncapped players named, although both have been a part of England squads this summer.

They are joined by England A team-mate and all-rounder Charis Pavely who has played two IT20s but is looking for an ODI debut in this series. Also returning to an England squad for the first time since recovering from a lower back injury last year is Ryana MacDonald-Gay.

There are eight players selected who were involved in the recent second-placed finish in the ICC Women's T20 World Cup, including left-arm spinner Tilly Corteen-Coleman, who will be hoping to add to the two ODI appearances she made against New Zealand.

Head coach Charlotte Edwards said: "It has been an incredible summer for women's Cricket already, and these three Metro Bank ODI matches against Ireland make up an important series for us to complete our summer.

"The focus has rightly been on T20 cricket for much of this year, but with a memorable run to the ICC Women's T20 World Cup final now behind us, this is a chance for players to display their 50-over skills and bank some valuable experience for the future.

"We have got plenty of exciting and talented cricketers in our game and this is an opportunity for some of them to push themselves further forward by hopefully contributing to England victories and putting pressure on future selection."
