The England Women’s cricket team will hope to continue riding high into the late summer action as they face Sri Lanka across the UK.

A wild ride through The Ashes and The Hundred has seen the women’s game elevated to new audiences and captured more attention than ever before.

Officials, teams and players will all hope the profile-raising tournaments can pave the way for greater interest in the wider game, starting with this series.

England are the No.2-rated ODI and T20I team in the world and will hope to make the most of their opportunity against Sri Lanka, ranked eighth.

In Nat Sciver-Brunt, England boast the top-ranked batter in the world, though top-ranked bowler Sophie Ecclestone will miss out after dislocating her shoulder during a warm-up for a match in The Hundred.

Sri Lankan star batter Chamari Athapaththu will look to exploit the lack of Ecclestone in the coming matches.
