WESTERN Storm duo Heather Knight and Anya Shrubsole have been named in the England squad of 15 for the upcoming T20 World Cup.

Knight will captain the side while Shrubsole, who also represents Somerset women, remains a key part of the seam attack.

Both players impressed in the Kia Super League over the summer as Western Storm made finals day before losing to eventual winners Surrey Stars in the last four.

Knight scored 368 runs at an average of 46 in the Super League, picking up the Players' Player of the Year trophy at last Saturday's awards night.

Nottinghamshire's Kirstie Gordon and Sussex's Linsey Smith – both left-arm spinners with Loughborough Lightning – receive their first call-ups.
