- Five matches at Derby a chance to recover from World Cup blow
- ‘Everyone is desperate to get out there playing’
Heather Knight says England Women’s return to international cricket has been “a long time coming” as they finally take to the field against West Indies in the first of five T20s at Derby on Monday.
With India and then South Africa dropping out of a planned September tri-series because of the Covid pandemic, there were concerns that the England and Wales Cricket Board’s efforts to create a biosecure bubble for a women’s series might go to waste. Happily for Knight and her teammates, West Indies were quick to step into the breach.
