Two Kent players have been named in the England squad for the first two Royal London ODIs of the summer.

Tammy Beaumont and Laura Marsh are both included in the 14-women party, the latter recalled after an improvement in form.

England take on South Africa at Worcestershire and Hove - the squad for the third game in the series at Canterbury on July 15 is yet to be confirmed.

The South Africa ODI series will be followed by an IT20 tri-series also involving New Zealand, who then play three ODIs against England at the start of July.

England coach Mark Robinson said: "It should be a really exciting summer against two of the best teams in the world.

"South Africa are an up and coming team with some really dangerous players. They pushed us close the last time we met them and we will have to be at our best to beat them."
