England star all-rounder Alice Capsey has been added to the England women’s squad for the upcoming three-match T20I series against South Africa. The series will be played at the Buffalo Park Stadium in East London starting this Sunday.
Alice Capsey’s Impressive T20I Record
Capsey, who is widely regarded as one of England’s brightest young talents, has played 37 T20I matches so far. In these matches, she has accumulated 701 runs at a strike rate of 119.62, with her highest score being an impressive 67 not out. Apart from her batting prowess, Capsey has also contributed with the ball, taking five wickets in the format. She has maintained an economy rate of 6.42 in T20Is, with her best bowling figures being 2/4.
Call-Up As A Precautionary Measure
The 20-year-old has been called up to the squad as a precautionary measure due to minor injury concerns among other players in the squad. This ensures England has a well-rounded squad with plenty of options ahead of their series against South Africa.
Capsey’s Strong Domestic And International Record
Capsey has also made her mark in the Women’s Big Bash League (WBBL), playing for the Melbourne Renegades. Her consistent performances in the domestic league further reinforce her capabilities as an all-rounder, and she will now join the England squad in South Africa on Monday.
England’s Upcoming Tour Of South Africa
England’s tour of South Africa includes three T20Is, three One-Day Internationals (ODIs), and a historic four-day Test match. The tour will run from November 24 to December 18, marking an important phase in the build-up to major upcoming tournaments.
Capsey’s Impact On England’s Squad
With Alice Capsey’s addition to the squad, England strengthens its all-rounder options for the upcoming series. Her ability to contribute with both bat and ball makes her a valuable asset in T20I cricket, especially against a competitive South African side.
