Amara Carr and Jodie Dibble have both been awarded Brian Johnson Scholarships for 2013. Jodie, a member of the Sidmouth Dibble dynasty is currently recovering from surgery on her right shoulder and will miss the whole of the 2013 season. Carr has recently been selected to play against Sri Lanka in an England Development side this coming Thursday (18th) at Loughborough alongside fellow Devon team mate Aylish Cranstone. The side will be captained by Somerset’s Sophie Luff and also includes England fast bowler Katherine Brunt who is using the game as part of her match preparations for the Ashes series as she continues her re-habilitation from injury.
Sri Lanka are preparing for the ICC World T20 qualifiers to be held in Ireland next week and will also play 2 x T20 matches against England’s Women Academy on Friday 19th.
