England Women cricketers will return to individual training from Monday ahead of the proposed Tri-series with India and South Africa in September.

A group of 24 players will be split across six venues where each will train on their own adhering to bio-secure and medical guidelines put in place by the England and Wales Cricket Board in response to the coronavirus pandemic.

Small group training will follow - at a date to be specified - before the selectors select squads for different formats, subject to future fixtures being confirmed.

Jonathan Finch, director of England Women's Cricket, explained: "We remain hopeful of playing cricket this summer and it's exciting for this group of players to be able to return to training.

"We've had great support from the first-class counties with the use of their venues, and we're grateful to them for that, and hopefully this is one step closer towards England Women returning to the field this summer."
