Dani Wyatt, who came through the Staffordshire system alongside Elwiss, has also been given a new contract.

An ECB spokesman said: “The new contracts signify a higher level of remuneration for England Women, continuing the trend since the women’s game turned professional in 2014.”

Some players will be getting a rise of up to 30 per cent.
