Women spread Twenty20 word

England Women will take on an Invitation XI in two Twenty20 promotional matches over the next week.

England - led by all-rounder Rosalie Birch - meet an Invitation XI captained by Alexia Walker at Taunton on Sunday, June 24.

The game starts at 6pm, immediately after Somerset Sabres continue their quest for silverware in the Twenty20 Cup against Northamptonshire Steelbacks.

On Tuesday, June 26, England will again play in a demonstration Twenty20 match at Edgbaston at 12pm - ahead of Warwickshire Bears’ encounter with the Steelbacks.

The day, billed by Warwickshire as ladies’ day, will include beauty treatments, beauty queens and make-up presentations for spectators and players alike.
