“The pace duo of Tayla and Darcie is one we’ve been wanting to unleash for a while and is a real point of difference for us,” selection chief Shawn Flegler said. The team, which will be vying for a fourth consecutive T20 title, will be led by Alyssa Healy while Tahlia McGrath will be her deputy in the tournament beginning in the UAE on October 3. 

“This is the first time in a long time we’ve had our entire contract list available for selection ahead of a World Cup,” Flegler said. Left-arm spinner Sophie Molineux and Grace Harris have also recovered from their injuries.
