The two teams will compete in a five-match intra-squad series in Pretoria from March 10 to 27, preparing for the T20 World Cup. England Women's head coach Charlotte Edwards will work with both squads and challenged the players to stake their claims for a place at the World Cup. England Women's got some exciting young talent in the squad! Davina Perrin, 19, is making waves after her blistering 101 for Northern Superchargers. Tilly Corteen-Coleman, a left-arm spinner, is another to watch - she had an impressive Women's Hundred with 11 wickets at 14.81.

Grace Scrivens, former U19 captain, and Ellie Threlkeld, Lancashire women's captain, are part of the squad. Sadly, Sarah Glenn won't be joining due to a finger fracture. It will be England's second training camp in South Africa this year, after skills-based trips to Oman in January then Stellenbosch last month. Edwards believes her plan for this next training block to have a "more competitive element" marks the next step in their preparation for the upcoming international season. England will host New Zealand and India in white-ball series ahead of the T20 World Cup, which runs from June 12 to July 5. They will then take on India in the first women's Test to be played at Lord's. The 30-player squad has been divided into two teams, Team Brittin and Team Heyhoe-Flint, named after England legends Jan Brittin and Rachael Heyhoe-Flint. Notable players include Davina Perrin, who recently scored a century for Northern Superchargers, and Tilly Corteen-Coleman, a promising young spinner.
