Tania says: "I'm really looking forward to it now. I obviously didn't know until this week that I'd been picked, although I was hoping I would be picked. But once you get the call and know that you're definitely going, that's when you can really think about it."

Tania recently spoke with BBC Radio Lincolnshire's Melvyn Prior where she told him more about her life.

England's players can expect some stiff competition in Melbourne, with many of the world's top players from Commonwealth countries.

I would also like to wish them the very best of luck in their preparations for Melbourne and at the Game themselves."
