Six Surrey Women named in England A squads to tour Australia.

Surrey's Emma Jones, Ryana MacDonald-Gay, Paige Scholfield, Bryony Smith, Alexa Stonehouse and Alice Capsey have all been named in the England A squads ahead of their multi-format tour to Australia.

The England Women A squads to tour Australia have been confirmed.

The group, led by England Women A Head Coach and Performance Batting Coach Jon Lewis, will play three T20s, three 50-over matches and a four-day match against Australia A.

Returning batter Paige Scholfield, who had to withdraw from the England Women's tour to South Africa in November 2024, is named in all three squads. She is joined by players from the England Women Pace Programme including Surrey teammates Ryana MacDonald-Gay, Emma Jones (T20 and 50-over) and Alexa Stonehouse, who is selected across all formats.

Alice Capsey who was a part of the England Women's Ashes squad earlier this year will join the tour following her time in the Women's Premier League (WPL) and has been selected, alongside other senior players to provide continued opportunity to play competitive matches against a strong Australian side.

The majority of the group have recently been preparing at a training camp in Abu Dhabi to further their skills in warm conditions and gain some competitive scenario practice. The group depart for Sydney on 17 March.

England Women A Head Coach Jon Lewis said: "We are looking forward to testing ourselves against a national side with great depth. We are aware of the challenge ahead.

"There has been some good work done by the players based in England and those who have been playing cricket over the winter around the world and this tour provides an opportunity for players to push for selection into the senior squad through strong performances against the Australians."
