Alice Capsey: England to drop all-rounder for part of South Africa tour

Alice Capsey is set to become a high-profile casualty of England’s group-stage exit at the T20 World Cup when the squad for the tour of South Africa is named next week.

Capsey, 20, will not be part of the group for the T20 and Test legs of the multi-format tour in November and December.

As reported by the Telegraph, the all-rounder keeps her place in the one-day squad.

Batter Paige Scholfield, 28, is due to be included after making her England debut in Ireland in September.

Seen as one of English cricket’s brightest young prospects, Capsey did not pass 20 in any of her three innings at the T20 World Cup last month.

England failed to make it to the semi-finals, finishing third in their group after a shambolic defeat by West Indies.

With the mighty Australia eliminated in the semi-finals by South Africa and unfancied New Zealand going on to lift the trophy, England missed a golden opportunity to end a silverware drought stretching back to 2017.

In the aftermath of England’s exit, former spinner Alex Hartley said they were let down by their fitness – criticism head coach Jon Lewis rejected.
