I have fond memories of playing in England following last summer&#39;s ICC Women&#39;s World Cup, during which I scored my highest ever international score,&quot; she added.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Harmanpreet, 29, is expected to leave for England in mid-July to participate in the tournament that is scheduled to run from July 22 to August 27.&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>The 2018 season of the tournament will see the six teams play each other in the home-away format - for the first time. The top three will advance to Finals Day at Hove on August 27.<\/p>\r\n",
