Knight Backs Charlie Dean Recall For Remaining T20Is Against India

By IANS News July 02, 2025 • 12:50 PM View: 396

Charlie Dean: After England’s second consecutive T20I defeat to India, former captain Heather Knight has called for decisive changes to the playing XI, urging the inclusion of bowling all-rounder Charlie Dean for the remainder of the T20I series against India.

England slumped to a 24-run loss in the second T20I at Bristol on Tuesday, leaving them 2-0 down in the five-match series and staring at the prospect of their first bilateral T20I series defeat at home since 2023.

While England showed signs of improvement compared to their opening defeat, Knight believes adjustments are essential to better counter a powerful Indian batting line-up.
