Summary
Henry Moeran is alongside Test Match Special’s Daniel Norcross to discuss Nat Sciver-Brunt and Charlotte Edwards leading England for the first time as the side host the West Indies.
Henry speaks to the England captain ahead of next week’s T20 match against the West Indies. How have the last few weeks been for Sciver-Brunt? What kind of captain does she hope to be? And who would make the best (and worst) babysitter in the squad after she recently became a mother for the first time? Plus, they react to Edwards’ squad for the West Indies series after bowler Sophie Ecclestone was left out.
Test Match Special has full ball-by-ball coverage of the West Indies’ tour of England, with 3 T20 matches and 3 ODIs starting on Wednesday 21st May at 6.15pm.
