A gathering of 24 England ladies' players will profit for individual preparation on Monday.

They will prepare at six settings, before advancing to aggregate practice.

The England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) is thinking about a September tri-arrangement with India and South Africa.

The ECB was forced to postpone the series against India, initially scheduled to start at the end of June, due to the Covid-19 outbreak. While South Africa is booked to play six restricted overs coordinates in September.

And with that objective in mind, the players are due to resume practice on June 22, initially on an individual basis and later in small groups.

The training sessions will be held at Loughborough, Headingley, The Oval, Bristol, Hove, and Chester Boughton Hall CC.

The ECB said the meetings will "happen under similar medical guidelines and bio-secure conditions" as the men's preparation group.

Britain's men started singular preparation on 20 May and on Wednesday reported a gathering of 30 players who will start bunch preparing in Southampton on 23 June.

Squads for specific formats will be named at the appropriate time, subject to confirmation of the proposed series.

But the 24 names include both Lauren Winfield and Amy Jones, both of whom recently arrived back in the UK after being stranded in Australia after the Covid-19 outbreak.

Jonathan Finch, the ECB's chief of ladies' cricket, stated: "We stay confident of playing cricket this mid-year and it's energizing for this gathering of players to have the option to come back to preparing.

"We've had incredible help from the First-Class Counties with the utilization of their venues, and we're appreciative of them for that, and ideally this is one bit nearer towards England Women coming back to the field this late spring."

Britain will start a three-Test arrangement against West Indies on 8 July.
