Nothing beats that fluttering sensation of excitement that brews in the pit of your stomach at the start of a new cricket season.
While we may still be a couple of months away from that in the UK, the England Women’s are well and truly in the mood as they prepare to get a hectic summer underway out in India.
And none more so than Danni Wyatt, England’s boundary-botherer-in-chief, who cannot wait to get her teeth into a seven-week jaunt across India and Sri Lanka, all before England host the West Indies, with the small matter of a home Ashes series following.
“I did a number of interviews a couple of weeks back in Loughborough and just talking about what we’ve got ahead, it just made it feel real,” she said.
“People kept saying that we’ve got the Ashes; we’ve got the West Indies coming over; we’ve got a massive 12 months ahead: World T20 out in Australia (in 2020) that we want to win.
“This trip’s going to be massive as well – we’ve never won a series out in India, so that’s first on our list and, hopefully, we can tick that off.
