Uncapped left-arm spinner Tilly Corteen-Coleman has been included in England’s squad for the Women’s T20 World Cup this summer.
The 18-year-old impressed in England’s intra-squad matches in South Africa this year.
She is one of three left-arm spinners in England’s squad alongside Sophie Ecclestone and Linsey Smith, while off-spinner Charlie Dean is named as vice-captain to Nat Sciver-Brunt.
There is no place for 19-year-old Davina Perrin, who scored a century in last year’s Hundred Eliminator, while veteran batter Tammy Beaumont also misses out.
Lauren Bell leads the pace attack with Lauren Filer and Issy Wong, while all-rounders Dani Gibson and Freya Kemp offer seam-bowling options.
Leg-spinner Sarah Glenn, a recent mainstay of England’s T20 squads, was not considered for selection as she is recovering from a broken finger and has not played this season.
England start their World Cup campaign against Sri Lanka on 12 June at Edgbaston.
They play white-ball series against New Zealand and India before the World Cup.
The T20 squads are the same as for the World Cup, while wicketkeeper Kira Chathli and all-rounder Jodi Grewcock earn their first call-ups for the one-day internationals against the White Ferns.
