Kate Cross Excited by England’s Emerging Talent Ahead of T20 World Cup and Beyond

England’s emerging talent has Kate Cross feeling excited as they gear up for the upcoming T20 World Cup and beyond. With a packed schedule ahead, including matches against Pakistan, New Zealand, Ireland, and the T20 World Cup in Bangladesh, Cross believes that the young players stepping up are a promising sign for the team’s future.

One such player is Danielle Gibson, who impressed Cross in the recent T20 series against Pakistan. Gibson’s development as an all-rounder, following in the footsteps of world-class players like Nat Sciver and Katherine Brunt, has been a standout for Cross. Additionally, the improvement of bowlers like Lauren Bell, Bess Heath, and Linsey Smith has Cross excited for what’s to come for the team.

Looking ahead to tours of South Africa and Australia, Cross emphasized the team’s focus on being more ruthless in crucial moments of matches. Despite their recent ODI win against Pakistan, Cross believes there is room for improvement in maintaining a positive mindset throughout games.

As England continues to build on their successes under coach Jon Lewis, the future looks bright for the team with a wealth of young talent ready to make their mark on the international stage. With the T20 World Cup on the horizon, England’s growing depth and ambition could see them make a strong push for success in upcoming tournaments.
