We are fortunate that our talent pool is growing fast, this has enabled us to pick a nicely balanced squad.""Dani (Danielle Gibson) is one of the form cricketers in the country, she is improving both with bat and ball and if selected in the team, offers us a dynamic cricketer who can change the momentum of the game.""Lauren is a genuine wicket-taking threat with good pace and swing. Again, if selected in the playing 11, she offers us a point of difference in our bowling attack that could impact a Test match at any point in the game," said head coach Jon Lewis in a statement.England's Test squad will play Australia A in a three-day warm-up fixture at the Incora County Ground, Derbyshire from June 15-17.
