T20 World Cup: England captain Heather Knight said she was taken aback by the maturity shown by all-rounder Danielle Gibson and thinks she has shown the mindset which is expected of players in the national side ahead of this year’s Women’s T20 World Cup.
Danielle, who has played 18 T20Is for England, took eight wickets and went on to slam a highly valuable 22 from just nine deliveries in the final of The Hundred to play a pivotal role in London Spirit defeating Welsh Fire and winning the title for the first time. She now places herself in contention to be a member of England’s T20 World Cup squad in October.
"I forget how young she is. We saw the game she played at Lord's, a reverse-sweep to go and win the game against Australia last year, and that's the sort of mindset that we want in that England side: the willingness to take risks, take the game on and express what your talent, and Dani epitomises that."
