Warwickshire Women’s team and Academy Fast Bowler Issy Wong has been selected for the England Women’s Academy (EWA) training camp in India next month.
Right-arm fast bowler Wong, who plays women’s club cricket for Berkswell and boys and men’s cricket for Knowle & Dorridge, and is currently studying for her A-Levels at Shrewsbury School, was named in the EWA Winter training squad last November, alongside fellow Bear Ria Fackrell.
Issy is a very exciting prospect and is already bowling with pace that could trouble batters at the highest level of the game.

Laura MacLeod, Women’s & Girls’ Performance Manager at Warwickshire CCC, said: “We’re always delighted to see players from the Warwickshire pathway get opportunities in the England set-up and it’s great to see Issy win this place with the EWA in India.
“She’s a very exciting prospect and is already bowling with pace that could trouble batters at the highest level of the game.
“Bowling in the subcontinent presents a great challenge to any seam bowler, but we’re confident that Issy can learn a huge amount from this experience and develop the necessary skills to take her further in the game.”
