We head INSIDE the England camp during the Women’s T20 World Cup with England stars Lauren Bell and Linsey Smith joining Amber Sandhu.
The bowlers are currently ranked as the number one and number three in the world. Bell and Smith discuss what they do between matches to keep calm, what it’ll mean to have their friends and family watching from the stands at a home World Cup, and is ’The Shard’ really Bell’s nickname?!
Test Match Special speaks exclusively to England’s T20 squad during the World Cup, getting to know the personalities behind the players. We get the inside track on how the team deals with the pressures of being an international cricketer playing in a home tournament
During the tournament we’ve got specials with Heather Knight, Issy Wong, Sophia Dunkley, Amy Jones, Freya Kemp, and Lauren Filer - as well as Bell and Smith.
