Staffordshire Cricket News |
Danielle Wyatt the Staffordshire womens star has been picked by England for the forthcoming tour to India in February and March.
Danielle who is justifiably proud of her achievement said 'I am just so excited and determined to work hard before I go to be in the best possible condition for the tour'.
Staffordshire head coach Alan Hill commented: 'We as a county are thrilled for Danielle, she has worked hard for her chance and I hope she does fantastically well on the tour'. Hill added: 'This is a great honour for Danielle, I am very pleased for her'.
The news comes only two days after Danielle hit her maiden hundred while on a five week trip to Australia. Joining fellow Staffordshire star Georgia Elwiss at Northern Districts, Danielle scored 100 not out against Sydney on Sunday. The club play in the strong Sydney women's first grade competition.
The full ECB media release is as follows :
The England women's selectors have named a 15-strong squad to tour India from February 15 to March 9. Led by Charlotte Edwards, the squad will play five one-day internationals and three Twenty20 matches. Danielle Wyatt, an 18-year-old from Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire, has been selected for what will be her debut tour.
The promising off-spinner, who has previously represented the England Women's Academy, has been called up to replace Holly Colvin who is currently studying Natural Sciences at Durham University and is unable to tour because of her academic commitments.
Claire Taylor, who is taking a six-month break from international cricket, is also unavailable for selection but will be resuming training in February in preparation for the ICC World Twenty20 in April.
Clare Connor, ECB head of women's cricket, said: “The team has had an outstanding year in 2009 but attentions have already turned to what will be a challenging year in 2010."
“The tour to India will be a real test for the squad and without Claire Taylor and Holly Colvin there are opportunities for other squad members to stake a claim for a place in the side and prove that they are match winners ahead of the ICC World Twenty20 in April and the series against New Zealand this summer."
“It is a demanding place to play cricket and the fact that no squad member has ever won a series in India proves just what a challenge the three weeks will be."
“The girls will be determined to change their losing record in India and come back with wins in both the one-day and Twenty20 series”

Mike Gatting the former England Cricket captain was guest of honour as Staffordshire Cricket launched their new junior indoor cricket leagues.
Gatting, who is Managing Director of Cricket Partnerships for the ECB, spoke about Indoor Cricket being key to local communities in the future. Gatting added "This is a game for all that can be played by girls, boys, disabled cricketers, women and men." Chris Guest from Staffordshire Cricket, who played for England at the recent world cup in Brisbane Australia, is heading up the programme for the county.
Chris has organised a junior league for 2010 and hopes that with no 'Rain Stopped Play' around that clubs will use it as a viable way to teaching new skills in the game.
Chris can be contacted by e mail c.guest@staffordshirecricket.co.uk
Staffordshire Cricket Development Manager, Jason Britton, said "We are really excited about this format of the game and believe it to be a more accesible, fast and dynamic opportunity for people from any background or ability to get involved in the game. Staffordshire Cricket is piloting this new way of playing the game through its local club network". Britton added: "The game is open to people outside of the club network including school friends, work colleagues and community groups. All these groups can just turn up, pay and play, it has the ability to address a wide number of social, community and health issues".
