Former England footballer Paul Scholes has appeared to question England Netball’s decision to exclude his daughter Alicia from the squad for their upcoming fixtures against New Zealand and Jamaica.

Jess Thirlby's squad included returning Roses Helen Housby, Eleanor Cardwell and Natalie Metcalf, who could make her first competitive appearance as a mother after giving birth in May.

However, Scholes was a high-profile absentee alongside London Pulse team-mate Zara Everitt, despite the pair impressing in the Netball Super League and Nations Cup earlier this year.
