Greenway's prolific club form earned her a tour place

Greenway averaged 111 for Kent last year, and is joined in the squad by all-rounder Ebony Rainford-Brent, who has overcome a back injury.

Sussex spinner Holly Colvin, only 16, is included for her first international overseas tour, alongside 17-year-old county colleague Sarah Taylor.

Australia, New Zealand and hosts India are the other teams in the competition.

Coach Richard Bates is looking forward to assessing his squad against a contrast of opposition.

"This is a really important series for us as it will give us a great indication of where we stand against the other top teams and will be great practice with the World Cup just two years away," he said.

Skipper Charlotte Edwards revealed the squad was "one of the hardest to pick" because of the number of options available, but was delighted to include Greenway and Rainford-Brent.

"Ebony has worked especially hard over the last two years; she has been a bright prospect for a number of years and I'm delighted she's got her call-up," Edwards enthused.

"It's also great to see Lydia back in the squad.

"She is a very valuable member, not just as a batsman, but she also has the potential to be one of the best fielders in the world."

England women's squad: Charlotte Edwards (capt), Laura Newton, Caroline Atkins, Katherine Brunt, Holly Colvin, Lydia Greenway, Isa Guha, Jenny Gunn, Laura Marsh, Beth Morgan, Ebony Rainford-Brent, Jane Smit, Claire Taylor, Sarah Taylor.
