The 25-year-old all-rounder recently returned to international cricket during England\u2019s ODI series against the New Zealand women's national cricket team. She had spent over a year on the sidelines due to a persistent back injury. Gibson showed promise in the series, scoring a quick 19 in the opening match at Durham and taking a wicket in each of her spells across the three games.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Her performances led head coach Charlotte Edwards to name her in England\u2019s 15-player squad for the T20 World Cup beginning on June 12.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cI\u2019ve been out of it for a while, so it\u2019s just nice to be back,\" Gibson told Sky Sports Cricket.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cEveryone seems in a really good place. We\u2019ve had great time together over the last week, had good conversations, and spent time training together this winter. I think the team is in a good space \u2013 it should be a good summer.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n
England will continue their preparations for the global tournament with three T20Is against New Zealand starting on Wednesday. They will then play another three-match T20I series at home against the India women's national cricket team later this month.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
While Gibson is expected to play a key role in the lead-up, she is focusing on taking things one step at a time after her long rehabilitation.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

\u201cIt was great to be back out there and see all the hard work I put in, along with the support from the science and medical team, pay off and allow me to perform as the all-rounder I want to be.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n
