England have called up the uncapped Maia Bouchier and Charlie Dean for the Twenty20 series against New Zealand.

They are the only additions to the squad that beat India 2-1 in July.

Chelmsford hosts the opening T20 of the three-match series against New Zealand on 1 September at 18:30 BST.

England T20 squad: Heather Knight (capt), Tammy Beaumont, Maia Bouchier, Katherine Brunt, Freya Davies, Charlie Dean, Sophia Dunkley, Sophie Ecclestone, Tash Farrant, Sarah Glenn, Amy Jones (wk), Nat Sciver, Anya Shrubsole, Mady Villiers, Danni Wyatt.

"We're looking at more players than ever before, which is so exciting," said England head coach Lisa Keightley.

"In the past selection meetings have by necessity been quite focused on the centrally contracted group, but the fact that so many other players are sticking their hand up and pushing for selection is testament to the progress the domestic structure is allowing the women's game to make.

"We're seeing improvements across the board, and there were a number of young English players who also shone in The Hundred, which bodes really well for the future."

England and New Zealand also play a five-match one-day series starting on 16 September.
