Oxfordshire's women's and girls' squads have been put through their paces by England coach Jane Powell as part of their winter training programme.

Girls cricket is flourishing in the county, and this season will see the introduction of under 11 and under 17 age groups in addition to under 13, under 15 and women's teams.

There will also be an Oxfordshire Girls League this summer, with nine clubs taking part.

With this sudden growth, the Oxfordshire Cricket Board are seeking sponsorship and new coaches.

• ASTON Rowant will host an under 13 girls' cricket festival in May and the ECB National Lady Taveners competitions for under 13s and under 15s will be hosted in June at Kingham Hill School, Chipping Norton.
