Chloe named in England A squad
Somerset spinner, Chloe Skelton has been named in the England A squad for the three-match 50-over series against India A.
England will also play India in three IT20 fixtures.
Surrey’s Kira Chathli will captain England Women A across both series at the end of June and beginning of July.
Chathli, who recently earned selection to the full England Women squad for the first time, will captain a team featuring three players capped at senior level in Jodi Grewcock, Ryana MacDonald-Gay and Charis Pavely.
2026 has been another productive year for Skelton who has claimed 15 wickets and scored 172 runs in eight Metro Bank One Day Cup matches this summer.
The team will be coached by National Lead Batting Coach, Jon JJ Lewis.
Regarding the squad announcement, Lewis said: “The India series will be another test of where this very talented group of players is at. Earning selection for an A side is proof you’re on the right path, but the next challenge is scoring runs or taking wickets consistently in domestic cricket and pushing for senior selection.
“A series against another nation is always a positive thing and I’m sure we’ll learn a lot from it. I’m delighted for Kira, I’m sure she’ll look forward to leading the group and I know she’ll take a lot from it.”
The final two 50-over matches will be played at the Cooper Associates County Ground on July 1st and July 4th.
