England Prepares for Women's Ashes Series

As England prepares to face Australia in the Women's Ashes starting January 11, 2025, Danni Wyatt-Hodge expresses confidence in her team's ability to compete against a 'ruthless' Australian side, despite their recent T20 World Cup exit. Although England has struggled in the past, winning the Ashes only once since 2014, they drew the last series in 2023 and showcased resilience by defeating South Africa. Wyatt-Hodge highlights Australia's deep batting line-up and formidable talent, particularly the young star Georgia Voll, emphasizing the need for England to stay calm under pressure. She notes that familiarity with Australian conditions from playing in franchise leagues will aid their performance. The series, which includes three ODIs, three T20s, and a Test match, is set to be a thrilling contest as both teams aim to establish their dominance in women's cricket.
