Bristol County Ground to host England & India Women this summer
17 January 2020
The Bristol County Ground will play host to England Women and India Women for a Vitality IT20 fixture on Saturday 27 June at 7:00pm.
The Priority Window for England Women 2020 ticket sales opens on February 24. Tickets will go on general sale from March 9.
“We always get a really great crowd at Bristol and they get right behind the team so it’s a ground we love playing at. One of the best games I’ve played in was at Bristol – against Australia in the 2017 ICC Women’s World Cup – and I’ll always remember the atmosphere that day. It’s a ground we’ve got good memories of and hopefully we can keep that going against India this summer.” Heather Knight
England Women have named their squad for the ICC Women's T20 World Cup in what will be Lisa Keightley's first tournament as Head Coach.
The 15-strong group features one change from the squad that won the IT20 series 3-0 against Pakistan in December, with all-rounder Georgia Elwiss taking the place of Kirstie Gordon.

Keightley said: "It's really exciting to name our squad for the ICC Women's T20 World Cup and we're looking forward to getting out there and getting underway.
"It was very useful to join the group in Malaysia and watch how they were getting on and since then we've had a training block out in La Manga.
"There are few better feelings in cricket than representing your country in a World Cup and I know everyone's really looking forward to the challenge."
Prior to the T20 World Cup, England's new era will start with a tri-series against tournament hosts Australia and India, with two fixtures against each team and a final for the teams who finish first and second. The matches will be played in Canberra and Melbourne.
England's tournament proper gets underway against South Africa at the WACA on Sunday February 23, after two warm-up fixtures against New Zealand and Sri Lanka. A full list of England's winter fixtures is available here.
Keightley and her team's first engagement after returning from Australia for the ICC Women's T20 World Cup will be back on home soil against India and South Africa next summer.
England will host both teams for two Vitality IT20s and four Royal London ODIs each, ahead of the 2021 ICC Women's World Cup, to be held in New Zealand. All games will be live on Sky Sports.
