According to ESPNcricinfo, Sophie Ecclestone has been sidelined from domestic cricket due to a knee issue, but on Wednesday, she represented Lancashire and scored a fifty.

Issy Wong was selected in the T20I team for three fixtures, along with Emily Arlott, another Warwickshire seamer. But Maia Bouchier was left out. Arlott was also chosen to the team for the three ODIs, even though she hasn't made her international debut.

After a rough patch where she struggled with her form, Wong last played for England in the tour of Ireland in September of last year. During her county's opening games and the recent tour of Australia with England Women A, she made a strong impression.

Emma Lamb and Alice Davidson-Richards, who were chosen for the ODIs after their standout batting performances in the One Day Cup domestic tournament, are also making a comeback. Both teams include the Blaze's opening batter Tammy Beaumont and spinner Linsey Smith, the Metro Bank One Day Cup's top wicket-taker.

England Women T20I squad: Nat Sciver-Brunt (C), Emily Arlott , Tammy Beaumont, Lauren Bell, Alice Capsey , Charlie Dean , Sophia Dunkley , Sarah Glenn , Amy Jones , Heather Knight , Paige Scholfield , Linsey Smith , Issy Wong , Danni Wyatt-Hodge.

England's women's team looks strong! But I wish BCCI would give our women's team more exposure like this. Indian women cricketers deserve more bilateral series at home. #SupportWomenCricket 🇮🇳

Interesting to see Sophie Ecclestone playing despite injury concerns. England's depth is impressive. Meanwhile, our Harmanpreet Kaur-led team needs more young talents like England's Arlott and Wong.

Why no Indian women's matches scheduled this month? 😕 While England and Australia keep their teams busy, our players are just doing WPL and waiting. BCCI should learn from ECB's calendar planning.

Good to see Issy Wong back in form! She's exciting to watch. Hope our Indian pacers like Renuka Singh are getting similar opportunities to prove themselves internationally.

England's domestic structure is clearly working well for their women's team. The way they're bringing in new players like Arlott shows great system. India needs to invest more in women's cricket at grassroots level.

While England-West Indies series is good, I'm waiting for India vs England women's matches! That would be real fireworks 🔥 Our Smriti Mandhana against their Sophie Ecclestone - what a contest that would be!
