World Cup winners dropped for South Africa ODI

ENGLAND omitted two of their World Cup winners today from a 14-strong squad to face South Africa in their first two one-day internationals this month.

Fran Wilson and Alex Hartley will be missing for the fixtures at Worcester and Hove — the first two of three in the series.

But Katherine Brunt, Georgia Elwiss, Laura Marsh, Sarah Taylor and Lauren Winfield are all set to return after sitting out England’s tour of India.
