Rain in Derby is expected to clear, allowing a full match. England Women play their first T20 international in ten months when they face world champions New Zealand. At least 11 T20s are scheduled over the next six and a half weeks, with England aiming for 13 to reach the T20 World Cup final. England Women have won every Women’s World Cup as hosts, creating pressure. Before the tournament starts on 12 June, England have two three-match series against New Zealand and India. These matches provide Charlotte Edwards time to assess players and test alternatives such as Alice Capsey behind the stumps while finalising a World Cup XI.
"England Women have never failed to win a Women's World Cup as hosts: 1973, 1993, 2009 and 2017. No pressure, then! joked their coach Charlotte Edwards when reminded of that particular statistic. Before the tournament begins on 12 June, England have two three-match series against New Zealand and India. It's a chance for Edwards to work out her World Cup team while also looking at alternative options such as Alice Capsey behind the stumps."
