There’s a tension in the squad England selected.

Looking down the list of names, the established core that England relied on through their Ashes and World Cup losses of the last three years remains intact.

Nevertheless, there’s enough freshness in there to tease that those fates aren’t destined to be repeated this summer.England squad for T20 World Cup: Nat Sciver-Brunt (c), Lauren Bell, Alice Capsey, Tilly Corteen-Coleman, Charlie Dean, Sophia Dunkley, Sophie Ecclestone, Lauren Filer, Dani Gibson, Amy Jones, Freya Kemp, Heather Knight, Linsey Smith, Issy Wong, Danni Wyatt-Hodge.Both the all-rounders that England have been desperate to have fully fit over the last few years, Dani Wyatt-Hodge and Freya Kemp, are set to operate in both their skillsets.

The bright, wide-eyed youth of Tilly Corteen-Coleman grabs the headlines, as does the inclusion of Issy Wong in her first World Cup squad.

Capsey’s off-spin has also been handy for England, but she’s only bowled a total of nine overs in the last 21 T20Is she’s played.

With their all-rounders back in, and four frontline spinners to choose from, she’s most likely been edged out of the top order, but could come in further down in place of one of the specialist spinners, or even as a back-up option with the gloves.All-roundersAmy Jones is England’s only frontline wicketkeeper in the XI, and has exclusively batted at No.5 under Edwards.
