Sophie Ecclestone is set to make a comeback to the England squad for the upcoming five-match T20I series against India starting from June 28. Ecclestone had taken a break from cricket earlier this month, causing her to miss the white-ball series against West Indies. Her return means legspinner Sarah Glenn has been left out of the squad. Additionally, former captain Heather Knight is sidelined with a hamstring injury, with Lauran Filer taking her place. The rest of the squad remains similar to the one that faced West Indies last month.

The England T20I squad includes players like Em Arlott, Tammy Beaumont, Lauren Bell, Alice Capsey, Charlie Dean, Sophia Dunkley, Amy Jones, Nat Sciver-Brunt, Paige Scholfield, Linsey Smith, Danni Wyatt-Hodge, and Issy Wong. Head coach Charlotte Edwards expressed excitement about Ecclestone's return, highlighting the upcoming series against India as a crucial preparation for the home T20 World Cup next year.

Edwards mentioned, "We're really looking forward to taking on India. They're one of the best sides in the world and it'll be a huge test for us. Five games against India in front of big crowds at great venues will serve us really well. This is a significant series for us with the countdown well and truly underway towards the home ICC Women's T20 World Cup. It's great to have Soph back, and we're looking forward to having her back in the group. She has obvious qualities and she'll be an asset to us. It does mean Sarah Glenn misses out, we are blessed with a strong group of spinners and we unfortunately can't play them all."

The squad for the three-match ODI series is yet to be announced.
