Speaking about the Ashes series triumph, England
Women’s captain, Charlotte Edwards said: “I am still
struggling to come to terms with exactly what we
have achieved as a squad over the last five weeks.
Every match in this series has been exceptionally
close – the scorecard doesn’t always tell the whole
story – and the emotions that I am feeling right now
are incomparable to anything I have ever experienced
during my international career.
“The manner in which we won the second Twenty20
International in Hobart, to clinch the Ashes, was
exceptional. From a personal perspective it was one
of the best innings that I have ever played, and I
will remember the match for the rest of my life.
“Every single player in this squad has at some
point stepped up and performed when they have needed
to during this Women’s Ashes series. The senior
players have led from the front and the younger
girls have come in and really stamped their name on
the international game.
“Everyone is now looking forward to a few days
off back in England, before the hard work starts
again, as we prepare for the ICC Women’s World
Twenty20 tournament in Bangladesh.”
