England Women Test match squad update

Emma Lamb has been withdrawn from the England Women Test squad to play India due to a back problem.

Lamb has returned home to the UK where she will see a spinal surgeon to determine next steps.

Gordon represented England Women A in their 2-1 IT20 series victory over India A last week and has remained in Mumbai.
