England Women have announced their squad for the historic Women's Test at Lord's against India Women, set to commence on July 10. This is set to be the first-ever women's Test match set to be played at the historic venue.

Nat Sciver-Brunt is set to lead the 15-member squad in what will be her first Test as captain of the England team. All-rounder Alice Capsey and 18-year-old left-arm spinner Tilly Corteen-Coleman are amongst five potential debutants named to the squad, which also includes seamer Grace Potts, wicketkeeper-batter Ellie Threlkeld, and off-spinner Mady Villiers.

Former skipper Heather Knight is set to feature in what could be her 15th Test appearance.

“We have selected a strong Test squad under the leadership of Nat Sciver-Brunt for what will be another historic few days at Lord’s for women’s cricket. Test cricket is a rare and wonderfully challenging experience in the women’s game and I know how proud our players are to represent England in this format. For the 11 women who will get the chance to be the first to enjoy that feeling at Lord’s, it will be a moment to savour," ECB’s Managing Director of Women’s Cricket Clare Connor said in an official statement.

England Women's last Test assignment came in late January of 2025, where they were comprehensively beaten by an innings and 122 runs by Australia Women in the first-ever Women's Test at the Melbourne Cricket Ground.

The loss was the culmination of a 16-0 series whitewash by the Aussies, which brought about wholesale changes to the Lionesses, including the appointment of Charlotte Edwards as coach of the side, replacing Jon Lewis, and Knight stepping down as captain of the side, leading to the appointment of Sciver-Brunt as all-format skipper.
