The camp is an opportunity for some of the USA’s best female talent to work alongside developing players to drive improvement across the group over the 3 day event.
The event will involve training, internal matches and also competitive matches against a women’s touring team from the Marylebone Cricket Club, England. Matches and training will be held at Evansburg Cricket Field, Merion Cricket Club and Haverford College.
