Alice Capsey has been dropped from England’s T20 and Test squads for the multi-format tour of South Africa, weeks after the country’s group-stage exit at the Women’s T20 World Cup.
England are playing three T20s and three ODIs before a single four-day Test on the tour of South Africa, which begins on November 24 and runs to December 18, live on Sky Sports Cricket.
Capsey – who has retained her place in the ODI squad – has not scored more than 25 in any of her last five T20 internationals and was run out for a single in England’s dismal six-wicket loss to West Indies on October 15 that knocked them out of the World Cup.
Paige Scholfield, who made her senior international debut in the September bilateral series in Ireland, takes Capsey’s place in the T20 squad.
All-rounder Danielle Gibson misses out on the tour after an operation on the left-knee injury sustained in the West Indies match, while Freya Kemp and batter Maia Bouchier are in the running to earn their first Test caps.
Heather Knight continues to captain the three sides.
Highlights from Dubai as England were eliminated from the Women’s T20 World Cup after falling to a six-wicket loss at the hands of West Indies.
All players not currently competing in the early weeks of the Women’s Big Bash League season in Australia – which Capsey is for Melbourne Renegades, albeit with continued mixed batting success – have been training in Loughborough.
The T20 squad fly to South Africa on November 16, eight days before the opening match, before the ODI and Test squads head out on November 27.
The four-day match in Bloemfontein will be the first Women’s Test held in South Africa since 2002.
