England Women’s New Head Coach Addresses ‘Sophie Ecclestone Situation’
Newly-appointed England Women Head Coach Charlotte Edwards speaks on the exclusions and injury update of Sophie Ecclestone, as England Women eye a comeback after producing a horrific performance on their tour of Australia.
Here’s what she said:
“Following her knee injury, Sophie Ecclestone is physically not quite at 100% yet. She’s been rehabbing and working hard but she’s only just got back on the park for Lancashire so she doesn’t have enough cricket under her belt to be ready for this series.”
“All-rounders Freya Kemp (back) and Danielle Gibson (stress fracture) are both unavailable due to injury. Lauren Filer’s return from a knee injury continues positively and she will continue to be reviewed. Maia Bouchier misses out having been a part of the Ashes series, Maia’s talent is there for all to see and the challenge to her is to go and make consistent match-winning contributions for Hampshire in domestic cricket.”
