Edwards Calls for Increased Red-Ball Cricket for England Ahead of Ashes
Following a significant defeat to India, head coach Charlotte Edwards stresses the need for more red-ball cricket to prepare for the upcoming Ashes.
Charlotte Edwards, the head coach of the England women's cricket team, has made it clear that increasing the amount of red-ball cricket played by her squad is a top priority. This decision comes in the wake of a disappointing Test match against India, where the team faced a heavy defeat.
