Uncapped Sarah Glenn included in England squad for white-ball series against Pakistan

The 15-strong group will sign off a busy 2019 by playing three one-day internationals and a trio of T20Is in December

England's women have confirmed their squad for the white-ball tour of Malaysia to face Pakistan next month, with the uncapped Sarah Glenn among the 15-strong group. 

Worcestershire leg-spinner Glenn wins a call-up after impressing in the Kia Super League with Loughborough Lightning, taking 11 wickets during the competition.

Captain Heather Knight is joined by Tammy Beaumont, Amy Jones, Nat Sciver, Lauren Winfield, Fran Wilson and Danni Wyatt, all of whom are currently playing in the Women's Big Bash in Australia.

Starting on December 9, England face Pakistan in three ODIs and a trio of T20s all of which will be played at the Kinrara Oval.

The 50-over matches make-up part of the ICC Women's Championship, which offers a route into the 2021 T20 World Cup.

Lisa Keightley has been confirmed as Mark Robinson's replacement as head coach but will not take charge until January due to her role with Perth Scorchers in the Big Bash. Interim coach Alastair Maiden will lead the tour in her absence.

"We're looking forward to getting out there and getting back to international cricket," said Knight.

"It's been a few months since our last game and there's been a fair bit of change in that time so this tour is an opportunity to start a new era and move forward.

"There's a few younger faces in the group but also a lot of proven talent. I'm really happy with the group and we can't wait for the next few months."

Squad: Heather Knight, Tammy Beaumont, Katherine Brunt, Kate Cross, Freya Davies, Sophie Ecclestone, Sarah Glenn, Kirstie Gordon, Amy Jones, Nat Sciver, Anya Shrubsole, Mady Villiers, Fran Wilson, Lauren Winfield, Danni Wyatt
