Cross left out of England’s World Cup squad

England’s T20 World Cup exit from West Indies in November last year was followed by a complete overhaul with Nat Sciver-Brunt replacing Knight as captain and Charlotte Edwards succeeding Jon Lewis as coach.

Although Edwards’ era began with a winnable West Indies team, weaknesses were exposed in the face of a strong India, which had both won the T20 and ODI series.

With England underdogs entering the tournament, co-hosts India and repeat champions Australia as the favorites, she is only given one major task.

After skipping both of these games this summer, Wyatt-Hodge adds more experience to the starting lineup, while Knight’s return significantly improves a struggling middle order.

After recovering from an Achilles injury, which helps balance the side with an extra batter, Edwards stated on the BBC Stumped podcast that she anticipates Sciver-Brunt to bowl during the World Cup.

With off-spinner Charlie Dean and left-armers Sophie Ecclestone and Linsey Smith, Glenn creates a powerful and varied spin attack, while Alice Capsey offers another part-time option on surfaces deemed to favor slow bowling.

Em Arlott, who made her summer debut this year, is in charge of the seam attack, and Lauren Filer adds pace.

It will be a huge challenge, like all international competitions, but we want to do it in India, and I think we can do it if we play the best cricket in front of anyone, according to Edwards.

Conditions indicate that we have chosen the extra spinner, and we are fortunate to have such depth in this area.

Danni is back in the squad, “great.” She’s been playing well in domestic cricket, and along with Heather, we’re thrilled to have her pick. She’ll also bring dynamism and depth to our batting. She’ll be a huge help to us.
