There are 14 players touring, with a possible starting '11' of:
- Edwards
- Beaumont
- Taylor
- Greenway
- Winfield
- Sciver
- Wyatt
- Gunn
- Farrant
- Hazell
- Colvin
Of course, England might argue that Sciver, Wyatt and Gunn can all wield a blade respectably; and perhaps Nat Sciver is actually seen primarily as a batsman by the selectors these days, though she initially came to England's attention as a bowler.
Obviously, this series is pretty-low on England's list of priorities at the moment, which probably reads: (1) The Ashes in Australia; (2) The Ashes in Australia; and (3) The Ashes in Australia; but still, an unbalanced squad is an unbalanced squad... and to my eyes, this squad looks a tad unbalanced?
