Meanwhile Jack Leach misses out in favour of his Somerset team-mate Shoaib Bashir.Isabelle Westbury is joined by former England spinner, coach, selector and director of cricket Ashley Giles who’s now Chief executive at Worcestershire to discuss the squad. She’s also joined by World Cup winner Ebony Rainford-Brent and record breaking bowler Katherine Sciver-Brunt.
