The left-arm spinner was left out of England’s series against South Africa.

Hampshire left-arm seamer Katie George was also included after impressing during the T20I tri-series, in which she took part in two matches against New Zealand.

Off-spinner Dani Hazell has been left out.

“I’ve been pleased with how we’ve played this summer,” said coach Mark Robinson, ahead of the New Zealand series, which begins on Saturday.

“We’ve got a bit of competition for places, which is healthy, and as such we’ve got a group of players pushing each other to improve all the time.

“It’s good to have Alex Hartley back with the group and Katie George has had a promising start to her career at this level and we look forward to taking on New Zealand.”
