Gibson, an all-rounder, showcased her exceptional skills as the co-leading run scorer and wicket-taker for the Storm in the recent Charlotte Edwards Cup. She also gained valuable experience as a backup player during the Women’s T20 World Cup earlier this year. Filer, who previously represented the England Academy, has been a consistent performer for the Storm in the past two campaigns.

Beaumont and Lamb, showing impressive skills in domestic cricket, have also made the squad. Wyatt, the top run scorer in the Charlotte Edwards Cup, and Capsey, who had a breakout year in 2022, have a chance to debut in the Test.
