Heather Knight, the captain of England's women's cricket team, has expressed her desire for the upcoming T20 World Cup to mark a shift in focus from the progress of women's cricket to the sport itself. Speaking at an event for Schools Cricket Day, Knight reflected on the need for women's cricket to become mainstream, noting that despite the success of the 2017 World Cup, the momentum did not sustain due to inadequate infrastructure and planning. With the T20 World Cup set to begin on June 12 at Edgbaston against Sri Lanka, Knight believes that the current professional setup offers better opportunities for young girls and increased visibility for the sport. After recovering from a hamstring injury, she is eager to return to competitive play, having not participated since the 50-over World Cup last November. Knight is optimistic about the upcoming season, stating that she is in a good place and ready to perform for England, while also balancing her off-field role with London Spirit during this year's Hundred.
