She will link up with the full England squad for the first time as the series kicks off in Durham on Wednesday (June 26).

Upon her maiden call-up, coach Jon Lewis said: "Ryana has been a standout bowler in domestic 50-over cricket and had a good 50-over tour of New Zealand with our England A team.

"We have brought her in at this point as we have a couple of niggles in the squad. We have been really impressed with her skill level and accuracy. 

"She is an exciting young talent and we look forward to having her in the squad."
