They have come out with a decision that Heather Knight is no longer going to be captain, so I think it was inevitable in a sense because of the results that England Women have had over the last 12 months or so.
Who could replace Knight as captain?
Greenway: There are a few names that spring to mind. Tammy Beaumont is one that has captained before at domestic level and has been vice-captain for England. Nat Sciver is another strong candidate; she is someone who is very experienced and has been around the group for a long time.
Then there is Sophie Ecclestone, who is a bit of a wildcard option but she is someone who is very well respected within the group. It will be interesting to see who they go for, but I think those are the standout candidates at the moment.
What impact could a new captain have on the team?
Dagnall: It could have a huge impact. When you look at the current team and the squad, there are a lot of players who have been around for a long time and maybe a fresh voice, a fresh way of thinking and a fresh way of playing could reignite that spark that maybe has been missing in the last 12 months or so.
So, I think it could have a huge impact. It could bring a new lease of life to some players and it could also give some players the opportunity to lead who maybe haven’t had that chance before.
Overall, it will be interesting to see who is appointed as the new captain of the England Women’s team and what impact they will have on the squad moving forward. It is certainly an exciting time for women’s cricket and the changes being made within the England setup.
Overall, I think it’s a positive move to bring in new leadership and fresh ideas to try and turn things around for the England Women’s team. It will be interesting to see how the team responds to these changes and what the future holds for them.
