Head coach Jon Lewis said: “We were delighted with our T20 series win and look forward to the next stage of the Ashes with everything to play for.
“We’re pleased to welcome Tammy (Beaumont) and Lauren (Filer) back into the group. Tammy showed her quality during the Test match with her double-hundred while Lauren offers us real pace in our bowling alongside Issy (Wong).
“The support the team have received throughout the series so far has been incredible and it is fitting to finish with this deciding ODI campaign as the first sell-out series in England Women’s history.
“We respect Australia and know that this part of the Ashes series will again be a big challenge. However, we take a great deal of confidence and belief from our recent T20 victories and will, as always, be trying to put on a great showing for our fans.”
Heather Knight’s group take on Australia at the Seat Unique Stadium, Bristol (Wednesday 12 July) before matches at the Ageas Bowl (Sunday 16 July) and The Cooper Associates County Ground, Taunton (Tuesday 18 July) with each fixture worth two points with tickets for the series now sold out.
