Sophie Ecclestone, the uncapped Lancashire left-arm spinner, has been named in England Womens 15-member squad for the three-match T20 series at home against Pakistan. Her Lancashire team-mate, Kate Cross, however, was left out. Kent left-arm seamer Natasha Farrant, who was not picked for World T20 as well as the ODI series against Pakistan, replaced the injured Anya Shrubsole.Ecclestone and Farrant are the two changes to the squad that swept Pakistan 3-0 in the ODI series. Ecclestone, only 17, is the second left-arm spinner in the squad behind Alexandra Hartley, who made her international debut against Pakistan in the third ODI in Taunton. She is yet to play a T20 international.The T20 series brings a new set of challenges and further opportunities for the players, and Im really pleased to call-up Sophie Ecclestone for the first time, and to welcome Tash Farrant back into the dressing room, Mark Robinson, the head coach, said.Sophie brings youth, vitality and another left-arm spin option alongside Alex Hartley into the squad. We have two world-class offspinners in Danielle Hazell and Laura Marsh, but we also need to be aware of the talent that we have underneath, and making sure that we are developing the likes of Alex and Sophie, by having them in the group and giving them international match-day experience.Robinson said that it was a real shame that seamer Beth Langston missed on of selection again, because of injury. She worked tremendously hard during the winter and had a great tour to Sri Lanka with the England Womens Academy, but unfortunately hasnt been able to get involved so far this summer because of her ankle, he said.Robinson also said that Cross was still in the sides plans, despite being overlooked for the Pakistan T20 series. Kate Cross has been left out of this squad to face Pakistan, but we do see her as a Twenty20 bowler moving forwards, he said. There is no reason why she cant be an outstanding bowler across all formats of the game, and we feel that theres a window now where we can do some focused technical work with her away from match situations to help get her ready to perform at her best in the Kia Super League next month.The T20 series begins with the first match at the Brightside Ground in Bristol on Sunday.

LAS VEGAS -- Marvin Menzies leaned in to the group and, intimating there was more of the story that could be told, asked with a laugh: You want the off-the-record-version or the real version?One reporter was working on a story, so on the record it was.UNLVs first-year coach spent the next few minutes inside a Las Vegas hotel conference room describing the ruse he used to help convince San Diego State coach Steve Fisher to hire him as an assistant.Menzies voice rose and fell with each plot twist, eyes gleaming, mischievous smirk growing to goatee-stretching belly laugh.The story reached a perfect crescendo, spilling a roar of laughter from the room into the hallway.The Menzies Effect at work.Marvin is instantly disarming as soon as you meet him. You feel like you have known him forever, Fisher said. Hes what you want someone to be.Menzies has a huge task in front of him, trying to turn around a UNLV program thats still trying to regain the magic from the Jerry Tarkanian years.Las Vegas teems with excitement when the Runnin Rebels are running and gunning, yet they havent given fans much reason to turn their attention toward the campus just east of The Strip.Previous coach Dave Rice was a sharp basketball mind, a UNLV alum and had the ability to bring in some of the nations top recruiting classes.But Rice did not win enough and may not have been flashy enough for a program had plenty of both under Tark the Shark.Though not the first choice to run the Runnin Rebels -- Chris Beard was initially hired, but bolted days later -- Menzies may be the perfect person to run the show.Like second-year UNLV football coach Tony Sanchez, Menzies knows the town, its people and the expectations of the job after working under Lon Kruger for a season.Menzies knows basketball after working under Fisher and Rick Pitino, coaches who have both won national championships. He is a proven winner, leading New Mexico State to the NCAA Tournament five times in nine seasons.The 55-year-old has plenty of recruiting chops, annually convincing some of the nations best players to play in Las Cruces.And Menzies has a bit of showman in him, comfortable and confident enough to be the center of attention no matter where he is.Marvin would be a perfect fit anywhere, Fisher said. Hes happy in his own skin wherever hes been.Menzies success comes, in part, from making people feel comfortable in theirs.A natural talker, hes like the life-of-the-party host who has guestts in tears from a funny story, yet still makes sure everyone has what they need.dddddddddddd.Menzies has an innate ability to make people, even strangers, feel comfortable around him. He nurtures those relationships by staying in touch with the people hes met along the way, from former players, coaches, administrators to boosters.A lot of the success stories you have come from the relationships you have, Menzies said. Ive done well and done right by the guys that Ive had and can keep going back to that well.Creativity flows through every one of Menzies wells.From his early days as a coach, he has never been afraid to go against the grain or take a risk if he believes something will work.To get the job at San Diego State, Menzies hatched an elaborate plan -- more on that later -- and had a cartoonist draw a picture of Fisher, his assistant coach Brian Dutcher and Menzies together on the sideline of a game against UCLA. Above their heads were thought bubbles.Everybody is a true artist at heart; were all born with a certain level of creativity, a certain level of artistry, he said. If you trust your instincts and use your intuition and when you need to stay true to form, you can find some favorable results.Now, about that Fisher story.The year was 1999 and Menzies was an assistant coach at Santa Monica College. Fisher was in town to visit a recruit and Menzies knew there was no way the coach who won a national championship at Michigan would notice a junior college assistant.So Menzies hatched a plan.He knew a local restaurant that was filled with waiters waiting to be actors and went in ahead of time, giving them his credit card and telling them to act like he was the most well-known person in town.Menzies convinced Fisher to stop in for a bite while waiting for traffic to die down and the waiters put in Academy Award-winning performances, treating Menzies like Norm from Cheers. When Menzies whipped out his wallet -- with no credit card in it -- the waiters told him, Coach, your money is no good here.Menzies looked like the king of Santa Monica and Fisher walked away impressed.We laughed about it after the fact, Fisher said. He wanted to make sure I had a good impression of him, but he didnt have to do that.The Menzies Effect was already working.---More AP basketball at www.collegebasketball.ap.org Wholesale Jerseys Wholesale Jerseys cheap jerseys Cheap Jersyes Cheap Basketball Jerseys Cheap NHL Jerseys cheap jerseys Cheap Jerseys Cheap Jerseys Cheap Jerseys From China Cheap NFL Jerseys ' ' '
