T20 World Cup: England head coach Charlotte Edwards has identified Sophie Ecclestone as a key player for the side ahead of the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup 2026, praising the spinner’s impressive comeback after a difficult phase last year.

Ecclestone had previously revealed that she nearly walked away from the game following a challenging Ashes tour. However, she returned strongly and finished as the third-highest wicket-taker at the ICC Women’s Cricket World Cup 2025, reaffirming her importance to the England setup.
