England seamer Lauren Filer will make her first appearance after the Women's Ashes Test against Australia in Sydney in January, when she takes on the touring West Indies in a T20 warm-up in Canterbury on Sunday, according to ESPNcricinfo.
Filer, England's one of the fastest bowlers has been out of action since the Ashes whitewash with a knee injury. West Indies will remain in Canterbury after the contest, with the first T20I against England set to take place at the same venue on Wednesday. The selectors have chosen to prioritize the domestic games since the competition is near to the Vitality T20 Women's County Cup and Metro Bank One Day Cup matches, and have instead selected a young team with a number of players who competed in the Women's Under-19 World Cup in January. These include the captain Jones, a wicketkeeper who was selected in the ICC's team of the tournament after taking nine dismissals, including seven stumpings, during England's journey to the semi-finals, as well as Phoebe Brett, Olivia Brinsden, and Charlotte Stubbs. England will contest three Vitality IT20s and three One Day Internationals (ODIs), with the opening match getting under way on Wednesday May 21 in Canterbury.
