Stonehouse added to ODI squad as Wong faces hamstring scan in 2026

England's ODI squad gains Stonehouse as Wong undergoes hamstring scan ahead of Sri Lanka clash.

England squad changes announced A call-up has been made for Stonehouse, aged 21, following strong performances in the Metro Bank One-Day Cup for Warwickshire. In five games, she has taken eight wickets at an average of 25.12, including three-wicket hauls in her last two matches against Durham and Somerset. She will join the England squad in Northampton in time for training on Tuesday and could feature in either of the remaining two ODIs at Wantage Road on Wednesday and Cardiff on Saturday. ## Injury concerns affect key players Arlott has been withdrawn from the squad due to concussion protocols after being hit on the head during a net session at Chester-le-Street on Saturday. Wong’s hamstring issue has prompted further medical assessment; she was replaced late in England’s opening match, a narrow one-wicket victory on Sunday, because of stiffness felt during pre-match warm-ups. Wong, recently confirmed in England’s 15-player squad for the upcoming T20 World Cup, has since been sent for a scan, raising doubts over her fitness for the tournament. England’s first game against Sri Lanka is scheduled to begin in just over a month, on June 12. ## Captain and leadership updates Nat Sciver-Brunt remains unavailable as captain, recovering from a tear in her left calf muscle. Charlie Dean has led the ODI side in her absence and was named player of the match after an unbeaten 31 guided the team to victory in the series opener.
