She’ll be counted on for all-round efforts.

Following a quiet start to this series, scoring just 16(28) and returning bowling figures of 0/30 (5), she scored a fine 86 in her most recent match, a career best, and her returns with the ball read 1/23. She can be relied upon for contributions with both bat and ball.

The 26-year-old keeper-batter, from 8 ODI outings, has posted 157 runs, including the highest score of 72.
