England Women`s cricket on Tuesday announced a 14-member squad for the international T20 series against India which gets underway in Durham on September 10. There are two differences between this squad and the one that competed in the Commonwealth Games. Heather Knight is still recovering from a hip injury, and Katherine Brunt, England`s leading IT20 wicket-taker, will skip the series to focus on rest and recovery.

Lauren Bell, who wins her maiden IT20 call-up, replaces Katherine Brunt in the squad. England Women Head Coach Lisa Keightley, who will take charge of her last series before returning home to Australia said, "I`m excited about finishing my time with this team with a fascinating series against India. They`re a great side and we`ll have to be at our best to win."
