The 20-year-old fast bowler is in Australian the squad of 14 players to play in an Ashes series that consists of one Test, three one-day internationals and three Twenty20 matches.

Vlaeminck's pace is her biggest attribute and the former Strathdale-Maristians junior believes she's found some extra speed in the past six months.

"I feel like if anything I'm probably bowling quicker than before I got injured," Vlaeminck said at the announcement of the squad.

"I think the extra work in the gym probably helped with that. Hopefully I can continue that and get a bit quicker."

Aussie skipper Meg Lanning rates Vlaeminck alongside some of the quickest bowlers in women's cricket.

"It's nice to have a bit of extra pace in the squad, it gives us a bit of variety," Lanning said

"She's definitely up there with Kathrine Brunt, (Shamilia) Connell from West Indies, they're probably the quicker ones on the international scene and I think Tayla is around the mark with those ones."

Vlaeminck made her international debut in short form cricket last year and was a member of the T20 World Cup-winning squad in the West Indies.

Her selection in the Ashes squad is a reward for effort after she missed most of the Australian summer because of a knee injury.

"Tayla was under an injury cloud, but she's back bowling and has had a terrific off-season up in Brisbane, so we're really excited to see what she can do in English conditions," national selector Shawn Flegler told cricket.com.au
