Fast bowler Tayla Vlaeminck and opener Nicole Bolton have been included in the squad for the multi-format, points-based series. They are returning to the side after missing the one-day international (ODI) series against New Zealand earlier this year.

The selectors have named one squad for the three formats against England. Australia will play three ODIs, one Test, and three T20Is from July 2.

The squad comprises Meg Lanning (C), Rachael Haynes (VC), Nicole Bolton, Nicola Carey, Ashleigh Gardner, Alyssa Healy, Jess Jonassen, Delissa Kimmince, Beth Mooney, Ellyse Perry, Megan Schutt, Elyse Villani, Tayla Vlaeminck and Georgia Wareham.
