Kira Chathli, Tilly Corteen-Coleman, Alexa Stonehouse and Gen Jeer have been named in the 2025/26 England Performance Programme and U19 Training Squad.
Chathli, Corteen-Coleman and Stonehouse have earned places in the England Performance Programme. Surrey Academy player Gen Jeer has been selected for the U19 England Winter Training Squad.
Chathli and Corteen-Coleman are awarded with selection for the programme after a successful season with the bat and ball. Wicketkeeper-bat, Chathli, started her season strong with a career best of 95 against Hampshire in the Vitality County Cup and replaced Heather Knight for London Spirit in the Hundred. Chathli scored 220 runs with a high score of 69 and a 150.68 strike rate.
Left-arm orthodox, Corteen-Coleman has featured heavily in the Three Feather’s inaugural year, contributing across all three competitions and taking eight wickets in the Vitality Blast.
Stonehouse, currently on a one-year loan to Warwickshire, was a part of Englands Pace Programme last season. An initiative designed to target the development of key pace bowlers outside of the core England Women central contract list. Stonehouse will continue her development with the Three Lions.
Academy all-rounder Gen Jeer joins the U19 Winter Training Squad following an impressive season with the Academy and Second XI.
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 U19s, 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 U19 touring party for the tri-series will be determined in the New Year.”
