Coach Mark Robinson said: "I've been pleased with how we've played this summer, in both 50-over and IT20 cricket. We've got a bit of competition for places, which is healthy, and as such we've got a group of players pushing each other to improve all the time.

"It's good to have Alex Hartley back with the group and Katie George has had a promising start to her career at this level and we look forward to taking on New Zealand."
