ECB Development XI and Sri Lanka Women will lock horns in the warm-up T20 fixture at Arundel Castle Cricket Ground, Arundel, on August 28, Monday. After the conclusion of this encounter, England Women and Sri Lanka Women will cross swords in three T20Is and as many ODIs.
Grace Scrivens will lead the England Women Development squad which features a lot of players from the England Women’s U19 World Cup 2023 squad. A few players were part of The Hundred Women’s competition and it would be interesting to watch how they fare against an international side.
This solitary one-off warm-up contest will be a perfect preparatory opportunity for the Sri Lanka Women’s side as they gear up for the upcoming white-ball series. Chamari Athapaththu will be leading the 16-member squad. Oshadi Ranasinghe, Inoka Ranaweera, and Nilakshi De Silva are a few players to watch out for in their squad.
