Southern Vipers' Georgia Elwiss & Danni Wyatt Selected For England's Tour Of New Zealand

Vipers duo part of 16-player squad for upcoming ODI and IT20 series in New Zealand

Southern Vipers duo Danni Wyatt and Georgia Elwiss have been named in a 16-player squad for England's upcoming series against New Zealand, a trip that will see England Women play three IT20s and three ODIs against the White Ferns.

Wyatt, Elwiss and the rest of Lisa Keightley's squad fly to New Zealand on January 24 ahead of fixtures across February and March. England's vice-captain Anya Shrubsole will miss the series after picking up a knee injury, while former Viper Katie George has sustained a stress fracture in her back that will also see her miss out.

There is room for former Vipers left-arm seamer Tash Farrant, who impressed in the first year of the Rachael Heyhoe Flint Trophy for the South East Stars, while Sophia Dunkley retains her place having appeared in England's last international against the West Indies.

We're hugely excited about getting over to New Zealand and maintaining our commitment to play international cricket despite these challenging times.

We have a really important 24 months in front of us with two ICC Global Events, the Women’s Ashes and the Commonwealth Games in Birmingham. Our ambition is to be successful across all these events and this tour is the first step towards achieving that.

2020 has provided many challenges, but under the leadership of Lisa and Heather we have a group of players who are excited about the opportunities that lie ahead.
