A ball is yet to be bowled in the Women's Ashes and plenty of drama has unfolded already.

FULL FIXTURES

The Ashes series had to be pulled back a week earlier than originally scheduled to accommodate World Cup quarantine, with England and Australia starting off with the first T20I on January 20 at the Adelaide Oval.

A big call in the Australian squad is the inclusion of Alana King ahead of fellow leg-spinner Amanda-Jade Wellington. Stella Campbell has been left out of the 15-member squad.

Campbell, alongside Maitlan Brown, Molly Strano, Wellington and Georgia Redmayne finds herself in the Australia A squad.

Jess Jonassen and Megan Schutt, both of whom missed the series against India due to injury and parental leave, have returned to the squad. Australia are still without spinners Georgia Wareham (ACL injury) and Sophie Molineux (foot injury).

For England, Tammy Beaumont is the top run-scorer with 312 runs from her last 10 matches at an average of 31 and a strike rate of 109.

Danni Wyatt has also made 252 runs from her last 9 matches.

Sophie Ecclestone has been the best bowler for England and has picked up 12 wickets from her last 10 matches while bowling at an economy rate of 5.89 and a strike rate of 17.

Sarah Glenn has also picked up 11 wickets from her last 10 matches.
