A TEENAGER from Worcester has been called up by England for the upcoming under-19 women’s T20 World Cup.
Spin bowler Phoebe Brett is part of a 15-player squad who have flown out to Malaysia for the tournament which takes place between January 18 and February 2.
The Bears Women academy prospect is set for her first taste of international cricket.
Bears Women head of high performance, Laura MacLeod, said: “Phoebe has impressed in her first season as an academy player with her left arm spin bowling.
“She has great skill which, combined with her height, gives her something different and poses a challenge for opponents.
“Her performances for the academy resulted in her selection for the School Games at Loughborough last September – and that’s where she cemented her place in the World Cup squad.”
The 16-year-old is joined by senior Bears teammates Davina Perrin and Amu Surenkumar in the England squad.
She came through the former Central Sparks Academy.
And Brett was voted Worcestershire’s young women’s player of the year in 2024 before transferring to the Bears Women academy.
