London, May 15 (Reporter) England have unveiled squads for the upcoming ODI and T20I series against the West Indies at home.
With Heather Knight having stepped down as the skipper, star all-rounder Nat Sciver-Brunt will make her full-time captaincy debut in a three-T20I series, followed by as many ODIs.
Making her return to the England squad for the first time since September 2024 is fiery pacer Issy Wong, who has been named in the 14-member squad for the T20I series.
Wong’s return comes on the back of her impressive returns for England A on the tour of Australia.
