England's failure shows players are not fit enough, says Hartley
The Guardian|October 17, 2024
The former international Alex Hartley has criticised the fitness of some of England's players involved in the country's disappointing Women's T20 World Cup campaign, saying "there are girls in that side that are letting the team down".

England were knocked out of the tournament on Tuesday when they lost to West Indies by six wickets in Dubai, after a calamitous display in the field. "It's really disappointing," Hartley said on the BBC's Test Match Special. "There are going to be a lot of questions asked and some of them, rightly so, on fitness. England need to get fitter. Australia have got 15 or 16 athletes, genuine athletes. You look at our team - I'm not going to name names but if you look at them, you know."
