Shrewsbury School graduate Issy Wong could be handed England international bow
Issy Wong could win her first international cap today having been called up as a replacement in England's one-off Test against South Africa.

Uncapped pace bowler Wong, 20, has been impressing onlookers with her form at club level.
She is part of the squad of 13, including heavyweights skipper Heather Knight, vice-captain Nat Sciver and Tammy Beaumont.

Following the Test, three ODIs take place from July 11. Fans can take in the action at numerous venues around the country.

They have also been drawn together in Commonwealth Games group stage action in four-team T20 action that also features Sri Lanka and New Zealand.
England begin on Saturday, July 30 against Sri Lanka at Edgbaston.
