England stick with World Cup winners

England have shown faith in the players that secured the Women's World Cup in Australia for the ICC World Twenty20 which will run alongside the men's tournament in June.

Charlotte Edwards leads the 14-strong squad which includes prolific run-scorer Claire Taylor, who was named one of Wisden's Five Cricketers of the Year, and Nicky Shaw who claimed Player of the Match in the World Cup final against New Zealand in Sydney.

The one player to be dropped is reserve wicketkeeper Lauren Griffiths as the women only have to name a 14-player squad.

The women's tournament starts on June 11 and the initial phase is based at Taunton. The semi-finals and final will be held on the same day as the men's matches at Trent Bridge, The Oval and Lord's.

Squad Charlotte Edwards (capt), Caroline Atkins, Katherine Brunt, Holly Colvin, Isha Guha, Jenny Gunn, Lydia Greenway, Beth Morgan, Nicky Shaw, Amy Shrubsole, Laura Marsh, Ebony Rainford-Brent, Claire Taylor, Sarah Taylor
