England have unveiled an exciting squad for the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup, with teenage sensation Tilly Corteen-Coleman earning her maiden call-up in a bold and forward-looking selection.

The 18-year-old left-arm spinner has been rewarded for her standout performances in domestic cricket, joining a strong spin unit alongside Sophie Ecclestone and Linsey Smith. Meanwhile, Charlie Dean has been named vice-captain, supporting skipper Nat Sciver-Brunt as England aim for World Cup glory on home soil.

In a few surprising omissions, experienced batter Tammy Beaumont and rising youngster Davina Perrin have been left out, while leg-spinner Sarah Glenn misses the tournament due to injury.

England’s pace attack will be spearheaded by Lauren Bell, supported by Lauren Filer and Issy Wong. The return of Dani Gibson adds valuable balance, while Freya Kemp brings explosive all-round ability.

This tournament marks the seventh T20 World Cup appearance for Nat Sciver-Brunt and the eighth for Danni Wyatt-Hodge, highlighting the blend of experience and youth in the squad.

England will kick off their campaign against Sri Lanka women's national cricket team on 12 June at Edgbaston, with the final set to be played at Lord's Cricket Ground on 5 July.

Despite being considered behind favorites Australia women's national cricket team and India women's national cricket team, England will see this home World Cup as a golden opportunity to make a statement.

With a new generation rising and experienced leaders guiding the way, all eyes will be on whether England can finally turn promise into silverware and reignite their dominance on the global stage
