England Women's Test Squad announced for England v India Test Series
ECB Media Release - 1 August 2002

Vodafone
England selectors have today named the 14 player squad chosen to represent their country in the two match Test Series against India in August.

England's young bowlers Isa Guha (Berkshire) and Laura Spragg (Yorkshire) retain their places following impressive performances in the one-day international series, in which England contested the final against New Zealand.

They join Clare Taylor, England's most experienced bowler, who became the first Englishwoman to take 100 international wickets against India this summer.

England Captain, Clare Connor, said, "everyone in the team has been selected because they are currently in form which means we have a lot of confidence as a squad. We view this Test Series as a chance for players to score runs and build good partnerships in the top order which is something we didn't do in the ODI's, and we're playing on traditionally good batting tracks at Shenley and Taunton".

There are recalls to the squad for two top order batsmen, Caroline Atkins of Sussex and Yorkshire's Kathryn Leng.

The 14 players are:

Isa Guha (Berskhire)            2         21.05.1985
