Thunder duo set for historic Women's Ashes Test

Sydney Thunder captain Phoebe Litchfield and rising star Georgia Voll have been picked by Cricket Australian’s National Selection Panel (NSP) in the Australian squad for the upcoming CommBank Women’s Ashes Test Match.

The squad features the same 13 players that took part in the opening three One-Day Internationals, with Thunder’s Voll a chance to make her Test debut.

The match will be the first day-night Test at the MCG and the first women’s Test match at the venue since 1948-49.

The CommBank Women's Ashes is a multi-format series, consisting of three ODIs, three T20Is and a Test match. Across the series, teams are awarded two points for each ODI and T20I win, while a Test win is worth four points. If a match is drawn the points are shared. The team that accumulates the most points at the end of the series will be awarded the Ashes. Australia has held the Ashes since retaining the trophy in 2015.

Fans can watch all the action when Australia takes on England live on the Seven Network, 7Plus, Fox Cricket, Kayo Sports, ABC Radio and Triple M (T20Is).

Tickets for the summer are available at cricket.com.au.
