Alice Capsey is set to debut as England's wicketkeeper in the one-day international series against Ireland this week. The 22-year-old has only previously kept wicket once in a professional game, during a 50-over match for South East Stars in 2020.
Capsey, who was a wicketkeeper throughout much of her junior career, was considered as a back-up option for regular keeper Amy Jones during this summer's T20 World Cup. Jones has been rested for the upcoming series against Ireland.
Capsey has been increasing her wicketkeeping training, including gym sessions to strengthen her legs, and has worked with former England wicketkeeper Sarah Taylor. She also kept wicket in a warm-up match against India before the T20 World Cup.
