Teen Spinner Corteen-Coleman Makes England Squad

Uncapped teenager Tilly Corteen-Coleman has been named in England women’s cricket team’s squad for the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup this summer.

The 18-year-old left-arm spinner impressed during intra-squad matches in South Africa, earning a spot in the final 15.

Spin Attack Packed With Variety

Corteen-Coleman joins established names like Sophie Ecclestone and Linsey Smith as part of a strong spin department.

Off-spinner Charlie Dean has been named vice-captain, supporting skipper Nat Sciver-Brunt.

Big Omissions From Squad

There was no place for young batter Davina Perrin or experienced campaigner Tammy Beaumont.

Leg-spinner Sarah Glenn also misses out as she continues recovery from injury.

Balanced Squad With Pace Options

The pace attack will be led by Lauren Bell, alongside Lauren Filer and Issy Wong.

All-rounders like Dani Gibson and Freya Kemp provide additional depth.

Rapid Rise For Young Spinner

Corteen-Coleman’s inclusion caps a remarkable rise, having impressed in The Hundred and domestic cricket.

She has taken 17 wickets for Southern Brave and continued her form with Surrey this season.

England Eye Strong World Cup Campaign

England begin their campaign against Sri Lanka women’s cricket team on 12 June at Edgbaston.

Their group also includes New Zealand women’s cricket team, West Indies, Ireland and Scotland, with the final scheduled at Lord’s.

After years without a global title since 2017, England will be aiming to make a strong statement on home soil.
