EN-W
England skipper Heather Knight is pretty much a straightforward pick. She has produced 697 runs and seven wickets from nine Tests.
Tammy Beaumont has a middling record in the longest format. The England opener has scored 239 runs at an average of 26.55. However, she has the knack of producing the big scores and hence, can be expected to fire.
All-rounder Natalie Sciver is expected to play a crucial role for the hosts. She has contributed 343 runs and nine scalps from seven Test matches.
Left-arm spinner Sophie Ecclestone is a match-winner irrespective of the format. She has taken 15 wickets in the red-ball format so far.
Charlie Dean is a talented spin-bowling all-rounder for England. She took two wickets in her debut Ashes Test earlier this year.
Medium-pacer Kate Cross is expected to lead England’s attack in the absence of Anya Shrubsole and Katherine Brunt. She has taken 15 wickets from five matches.
Amy Jones was the leading scorer at the recently concluded Charlotte Edwards Cup with 289 runs in 8 innings and is a solid budget wicket keeper at 8.5 credits.

Laura Wolvaardt is one of the most promising top-order batters in world cricket. She is expected to make her Test debut on the back of a fine century in the practice game.
Sune Luus had a fine showing against England A Women as she scored 98 runs and she also picked up a wicket in both innings.
Lara Goodall got off to good starts in both her innings against England A Women as she scored 85 runs in total in the match. She scored a half-century in the first inning and is a good budget pick at 8 credits.
