We're excited to see how [she and Gaur] go and how they adapt to international cricket and being in an England squad.
Knight added:"It's really nice to give those girls an opportunity and see how they go - someone like Maia who's going to open the batting.Maia Bouchier will open the batting for England in the T20 series in the absence of the rested Sophia Dunkley England will look to repeat the clinical performances from their previous encounter with Sri Lanka, thrashing the hosts 3-0 in their T20I series in March 2019.
