World T20 provisional squad named

Selectors have today named the provisional 30-player England women's squad for the 2012 International Cricket Council Women's World Twenty20, to be staged in the Sri Lanka in September.

The Lionesses will face Australia, India and Pakistan in the group stages, beginning on Thursday September 27 against the latter in Galle. The squad will be cut to a final 14 players next month.

Here at Women's Cricket we think there are no huge surprises in this little lot, as they have all acquitted themselves well in the county game over recent seasons. Although all of them will have the chance to stake a claim in the t20s over the next few days. Watch this space...
