England have called up Lancashire’s 17-year-old left-arm orthodox spinner Sophie Ecclestone for the T20 series against Pakistan, starting at Bristol on Sunday.

Ecclestone hails from Cheshire, but joined Lancashire in 2015. Earlier this year she impressed for England Academy in the pre-season tri-series with Sri Lanka A and Australia’s Shooting Stars in Sri Lanka, taking 16 wickets on the tour, including a 4-for versus Sri Lanka A in Panagoda.

Additionally, Kent’s Tash Farrant – the leading wicket-taker in the County Championship – is recalled to the England squad, after missing out in the ODIs.

England will however be without vice-captain Anya Shrubsole, who is injury-listed with a side problem.

Full squad:

• Heather Knight
• Tammy Beaumont
• Katherine Brunt
• Sophie Ecclestone
• Tash Farrant
• Georgia Elwiss
• Jenny Gunn
• Alex Hartley
• Dani Hazell
• Amy Jones
• Laura Marsh
