“I have always enjoyed male company, which has probably stemmed from playing in boys/men's teams while growing up.”
“We believe that we can win no matter what situation.”
“I think T20 cricket has become the flagship spectacle for women's cricket.”
“I am High Wycombe born and bred.”
“Cricket is a sport girls can play and be successful in irrespective of their background.”
“I've never really seen myself as a role model, but if others see me as that then it's something of which I'd be very proud.”
“Jess Ennis, Chrissie Ohuruogu, Vicky Pendleton and Laura Trott, to name a few, have acted as female role models in England.”
“I like Tendulkar and I think the Indian batsmen are stylish but I support England and I have always wanted to play for England.”
“I went through a phase after we won the World Cup of 'what am I going to do with my life.'”
“England Women regularly play against Under-15 and U-17 county men's sides, which is great for the girls to take them out of their comfort zones. It's important to find a balance, though, because the way in which women's cricket is played is still very different.”
“Naturally, any time that our national team beats Australia is pleasing but the first time we beat them in 10 years at Stratford in 2005 was a day I'll never forget.”
“Looking back over all the sporting spectacles of 2016, I still pinch myself at the things I was fortunate to witness in person.”
“I prioritise different things at different times, so when a cricket tour is coming up, cricket takes priority. But then there are times when I need to focus on my studies. I think it's good to have a balance.”
“Before my parents came to England from Calcutta in the 1970s, they used to go to games at Eden Gardens.”
“In Twenty20, because of the pace of the game, everyone is constantly involved in the field, you have to work as a team covering each other, there's no time to take your eye off the ball.”
“I started playing cricket with my brother in our back garden when I was eight. The garden was long and thin, so it was perfect for us to play cricket in. We'd use a crate as the wicket. We broke quite a few windows.”
“My brother was playing hockey, tennis, badminton... I basically copied everything he did.”
“I wasn't aware of women's cricket until I was 10. We grew up following the men's game.”
“To people who don't take women's cricket seriously, I'd say: just watch a game first, and then make your judgement.”
“I'd like to thank my family and friends for their continual support over the years and to all those involved in helping me develop as a cricketer of which there are too many to mention.”
