Alexia called into England cricket squad
BEXHILL cricketer Alexia Walker has been selected for the historic England U-19s Women's winter tour of Australia.
The three-week tour will be the first time a women's u19s team from this country has ever travelled to the southern hemisphere.
"I am absolutely chuffed," she said. "It's fantastic to be picked especially since it's the first of this kind in the junior women's teams."
