Plenty Valley’s Tayla Vlaeminck will get the chance to push her case for the Australian team for the T20 World Cup as part of an Australian A squad.
Several of Australia’s biggest stars will begin their T20 World Cup preparations alongside the country’s best rising talent, as Australia A host India A in Queensland in August.
The multi-format ‘A’ series will feature three T20s, three one-dayers and a four-day red-ball game, to be played across Brisbane, Mackay and the Gold Coast.
Australian quicks Megan Schutt, Kim Garth and Vlaeminck will also feature in the white-ball matches, which will be their first hit-out since April’s tour of Bangladesh as they begin preparations for the T20 World Cup in October.
Australian vice-captain Tahlia McGrath will lead both the T20 and one-day squads.
Vlaeminck has also been named in the one-day squad.
After injuries ruined most of the last two summer, Vlaeminck made her return to the Australian side in April.
In her second back, she took a career best 3-12 to help Australia have a clean sweep against Bangladesh.
Former Plenty Valley spinner Sophie Day has been included in the one-day and four-day squads.
