The 24-strong group will be trimmed down to formal squads at a later date.

The ECB are working on plans for a three-way ODI series to take place in the late summer.

England Women's cricket director Jonathan Finch said: "We remain hopeful of playing cricket this summer and it's exciting for this group of players to be able to return to training.

"We've had great support from the first-Class counties with the use of their venues, and we're grateful to them for that, and hopefully this is one step closer towards England Women returning to the field this summer."
