Qiana Joseph and Chedean Nation who also had credible performances were recalled to the tea, having missed out on the last tour to Australia in 2023.
Lead Selector for Women’s cricket Ann Browne-John said, “The upcoming series against is extremely important for the team as they return to international competition after almost six months, the last series being against Australia.
