Women's Cricket World Cup
The ICC Women's Cricket World Cup starts this month and the England players are in New Zealand!
Their matches start this Saturday and their schedule is as follows:
v Australia - 5th March
v West Indies - 8th March
v South Africa - 14th March
v India - 16th March
v New Zealand - 19th March
v Pakistan - 24th March
v Bangladesh - 26th March
As it's in New Zealand there is sadly a huge time difference but if you're able to watch any of it, or the highlights, look for the competition on Sky Sports and on BBC Test Match Special – it’ll also be on the ECB’s digital channels

The squad consists of the following players and you can watch some videos of them in action on the ECB website here where there's a women's section: https://www.ecb.co.uk/video
You can also find out some fun facts about the players below. For example, did you know that Heather Knight's nickname is Trev? Or that Natalie Sciver once shared a lift with the whole Manchester United team?!
Thank you to the ECB for the information in this article.
