Nottinghamshire's Sophie Munro has been named as one of the 29 players joining the England Women's setup.

The right-armer, who made two appearances for England Academy Women over the summer, has been selected for the Training squad, which earmarks those with the potential to be part of the Women's Academy in the future.

Players in the EWA will benefit from an individualised programme designed to maximise the chances of future transition to the senior squad.

A separate Spin Bowling Group has also been added to the 2019/20 intake, in addition to the Training Squad.

"We look forward to working closely with this group across the next 12 months," said John Stanworth, Head Coach of the England Women's Academy.

"The opportunity to develop their skills alongside other talented players on a regular basis is an important part of their development.

"It is an exciting group of players and we look forward to seeing them progress through the different experiences they will be exposed to both here and abroad."
