Opener Sophia Dunkley returns to an otherwise unchanged lineup from their T20 series win against Pakistan. Southern Vipers’ Freya Kemp is included as an all-rounder after her stint as a batter against Pakistan.
The series begins on July 6 in Southampton, followed by matches in Hove (July 9), Canterbury (July 11), and concludes with two London fixtures at the Kia Oval (July 13) and Lord's (July 17). This follows a three-match ODI series against New Zealand in Durham (June 26), Worcester (June 30), and Bristol (July 3).
Head coach Jon Lewis emphasized the series' importance for T20 World Cup preparations and expressed hope for Kemp’s all-round performance. Unfortunately, Mahika Gaur is unavailable due to a side strain.
Tickets are available for both ODI and T20 series.

Heather Knight (C), Lauren Bell, Maia Bouchier, Alice Capsey, Charlie Dean, Sophia Dunkley, Sophie Ecclestone, Lauren Filer, Danielle Gibson, Sarah Glenn, Bess Heath, Amy Jones, Freya Kemp, Nat Sciver-Brunt, Linsey Smith, Danielle Wyatt.
