12 England stars have been selected as part of the latest British Lacrosse women’s squad touring Japan ahead of The World Games 2025 in Chengdu, China in August.
Emilie Chandler, Emily Gray, Cece Green, Lauren Hart, Minty Loxton, Laura Merrifield, Anna Neville, Emma Oakley, Sienna Parekh, Emma Savage, Dylan Whittington, and Liv Wimpenny have all travelled to Asia as part of a 16-strong squad.
The latest tour to Japan will see the British Lacrosse team take in matches against Japan and a couple of Japanese University sides alongside team training sessions and the occasional excursion.
Having arrived in Tokyo yesterday (Monday 9 June), the squad held a training session before being invited to a special meeting at the British Embassy in the city where they met Japanese officials.
The tour comes just two months before British Lacrosse make their return to The World Games in August, where they’ll be looking to equal or better their fourth place finish at the 2022 edition, and only three years before the 2028 Olympic Games in LA.
