Series Loss Against India Wasn't A 'reality Check', England Can Beat Any Team: Edwards
ODI World Cup: England women's team head coach Charlotte Edwards believes that her side's white-ball series defeats against India weren't a 'reality check' and they are prepared to beat any team ahead of next month's ODI World Cup.
After a dominant start to the summer with a convincing series win over a weakened West Indies in her debut as head coach, England stumbled against India, losing the T20I series 3-2 and the ODIs 2-1. India, co-hosts of the upcoming World Cup with Sri Lanka, exposed some key weaknesses in the English side who were without seasoned batter Heather Knight and captain Nat Sciver-Brunt sat out the final two T20Is due to injury.
However, questions continue to be raised about the team's fielding standards and their ability to handle high-pressure situations. "We were massively challenged (against India) and that's how we want women's cricket to be," Edwards told the BBC Stumped podcast recently.
