England A has named squads featuring several experienced players including Issy Wong, Lauren Filer, and Tilly Corteen-Coleman for its winter tour of India.

The squads across all three formats feature 11 players with international experience.

A further five players are named in all three squads including Warwickshire all-rounder Charis Pavely and Surrey wicketkeeper-batter Kira Chathli who was captain of England Women A in their two home white-ball series against India A earlier this year.

“The selection for A squads is often about the bigger picture and getting ready for challenges further down the line,” said head coach Jon Lewis.

“These squads have an element of that, but are more about the players who are considered the next in line for the senior England teams, as well as the players who are looking to establish themselves in those teams.

“With the Ashes next summer, we are keen to see some valuable top-level competitive game time against India’s next best for several players who will be in contention for selection next year, particularly in the 50-over and 4-day games.

“We head to India with strong ambitions to be successful, knowing that a tour to India is always a tough assignment. They toured the UK in the summer and had some success over here so we know it will be a challenge that we are looking forward to meeting head on.”

Captains for all three squads will be named at a later time. The tour begins with three T20s, followed by three one-dayers and the four-day match.
