Davies has been an integral part of her Sussex side for a number of seasons, having first appeared for her county aged 14. Recent displays for Western Storm have helped further her reputation, seeing her earn a full contract despite being uncapped.

"I'm absolutely thrilled to receive my first full contract. It's always been my aim to represent England and this is an exciting step in the right direction," Davies said. 

"I’m looking forward to continuing the hard work, and the challenge now of getting myself picked."

England have a busy schedule this year, with an away series against India, beginning later this month, the first trip on their agenda. Proceeding onwards, contests on home soil against the Windies and Australia and the Windies will be the focus.
