England was dealt a severe blow prior to the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup in South Africa in February of the following year when talented 17-year-old Freya Kemp was ruled out from the competition. Kemp, who played in nine T20Is after making her T20I debut earlier this year, has an economy rate of just over seven runs per over while taking eight wickets at an average of 18.62.
She made an unbeaten 51 off 37 balls against India earlier in September to become the second-youngest women’s player to score a half-century for England. The left-arm quick and late-order batter travelled to the Caribbean with the team but had to return home due to back pain.
