The Nat Sciver-Brunt-led side will next meet the West Indies in the second ODI on June 4 in Leicester. "It's pretty special. I've played a fair few games now without one, so to tick that off is a brilliant feeling. I was so excited when Lottie (head coach Charlotte Edwards) first had that thought and shared with me that opening could be an option. I've obviously done it in the past - while Lottie was in the team, in fact - and so it has come full circle. To have her backing and have that partnership with Tammy, it means a lot," Jones told Sky Sports, as quoted from ICC. Having posted 345/6 on the board, England's bowlers managed to halt the Windies at 237, with left-arm spinner Linsey Smith leading the charge with a five-for. Closing with figures of 5/36, Smith opened up on a remarkable ODI debut. Alice Capsey, Lauren Filer Added in England Women’s ODI Squad for Their ODI Series Against West Indies. "It's pretty surreal. Today feels like a bit of a blur, but I guess initial feelings are pretty over the moon. One, to make my debut. Two, to put in a performance and help the team win, so I'm pretty proud of myself right now. But there's another game coming up quickly and we want to win the series as well. I know for quite a while I only played T20 and I knew deep down within me that I wanted to play every format and really push my case for that," she said.
