Issy Wong and Lauren Bell have earned maiden England ODI call-ups, while Alice Davidson-Richards has also been picked in the 14-strong squad for the three-match series against South Africa.
All three featured in the drawn Women's Test against South Africa at Taunton, with Davidson-Richards scoring a superb century on her Test bow.
Wong and Bell too impressed, taking three and two wickets respectively on their England debuts.
Davidson-Richards played one ODI for England in 2018 - along with five T20 internationals - but Wong and Bell are yet to play white-ball cricket for their country.
Explosive white-ball batter Danni Wyatt and seamer Katherine Brunt - who recently retired from Test cricket - are also included in the squad.
England play South Africa in the first ODI of the series in Northampton on Monday, July 11, live on Sky Sports Cricket.
There are then further games in Bristol on July 15 and Leicester on July 18.
England squad: Heather Knight (Western Storm, cap), Tammy Beaumont (Lightning), Lauren Bell (Southern Vipers), Katherine Brunt (Northern Diamonds), Kate Cross (Thunder), Alice Davidson-Richards (South East Stars), Charlie Dean (Southern Vipers), Sophia Dunkley (South East Stars), Sophie Ecclestone (Thunder), Amy Jones (Central Sparks), Emma Lamb (Thunder), Nat Sciver (Northern Diamonds, vice captain), Issy Wong (Central Sparks), Danni Wyatt (Southern Vipers)
