LYMPSHAM cricketer Sophie Luff has been selected as part of the England Women's Academy winter training squad.

Speaking about the winter training programmes, ECB Head of England Women's Cricket, Clare Connor told the ECB's official website.

She said: “This summer the EWA demonstrated the scope of the talent pool now present in the women's game when they drew a two-day match and won a 50-over encounter against the touring Indian women's team.

“They backed this up with a 1-1 score line in a T20 series against South Africa women. It is performances like this that illustrate the strong position that England women's cricket is currently enjoying.”
