The match will be the first women’s Test to be hosted at the iconic venue.

Apart from the five uncapped players, the England squad also features a number of experienced campaigners like former captain Heather Knight, Tammy Beaumont, Amy Jones and Sciver-Brunt herself. “We have selected a strong Test squad under the leadership of Nat Sciver-Brunt for what will be another historic few days at Lord’s for women’s cricket,” said ECB’s Managing Director of Women’s Cricket Clare Connor.
