LONDON: Hopeful of a women's tri-series involving India and South Africa going ahead later this year, the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) has announced that 24 of its players will return to individual training from June 22.
The India women's team was supposed to travel to England for a bilateral series comprising three ODIs and three T20Is but the tour remains postponed for the time being.
The ECB has been trying to convince both the Board of Control for Cricket in India and the Cricket South Africa to agree to play a tri-series later this year but nothing has been finalised as yet.
"The players will return across six venues, initially training on their own before progressing to small group training. Squads for specific formats will be named in due course, subject to confirmation of the proposed series," the ECB said in a statement.
The training sessions will take place under the same medical guidelines and bio-secure conditions as have been in place for England Men.
The players will train at National Performance Centre, Loughborough; Emerald Headingley, Yorkshire; The Kia Oval, London; Bristol County Ground, Bristol; Chester Boughton Hall CC, Lancashire; and the 1st Central County Ground, Hove. Agencies
