Warwickshire Women will take a strengthened squad down to Taunton for their Vitality Women's Blast double header against Somerset on Sunday. 
The Bears lost one and won one of their opening fixtures against Wales and while head coach Dominic Ostler was pleased with the improvement for the second game, he will demand more consistent cricket all round in Somerset. 
It will help to have a serious draft of experience and proven quality into the squad with batters Marie Kelly, Eve Jones and Gwen Davies and leg spinner Hannah Baker available.

"Somerset are a strong side but we are going down there to win both games and it's good to have some key players back," Ostler said. "We will be looking to improve on an indifferent first weekend against Wales.  
"We lost the first game and deserved to because we didn't play well and our fielding was poor. We responded well with a good victory in the second game but need to be better in all departments this weekend."
