England Women’s Head of Performance Pathways Richard Bedbrook said: “The purpose of the Performance Programme is to provide development opportunities to players across various skill-sets, on the back of the successful Pace Programme last winter.
“This programme will provide individualised support, designed to accelerate each player’s development, working in collaboration with their county staff. The ultimate ambition is to provide each player with an opportunity to push their case for future England selection through continued performances within the domestic game and any England Women pathway activity.
“There are three overseas training camps for England Women across January, February and March 2026 that players from this Performance Programme could well be a part of. Such opportunities will provide further experiences and exposure for these players on top of the training camps that will place at the National Cricket Performance Centre.
“For the Under 19s, there are eight camps at the National Cricket Performance Centre across the winter as this programme builds towards a tri-series against Australia and Sri Lanka in March/April 2026. The final England Women Under 19 touring party for the tri-series will be determined in the New Year.”
