The article features three prominent English female athletes—Niamh Charles, Ellie Kildunne, and Sarah Glenn—who are preparing for significant competitions this summer. Charles focuses on defending the Women's Euros title, Kildunne aims for the Rugby World Cup, and Glenn targets the Cricket World Cup. They discuss the growing competitiveness in women's sports and the high expectations following past successes. Each athlete highlights their preparations, the importance of teamwork, and the excitement of upcoming challenges, with reflections on evolving game dynamics and new coaching leadership.
It's about who turns up in the tournament. We're lucky we've had lots of good games before to prepare, so I think we’re not looking to peak right now.
We've got the India series coming up this summer...it's just a great opportunity to show how good we are and to get those wins.
With Lottie [head coach Charlotte Edwards] coming in and Nat Sciver-Brunt as the new captain too, it will be like a breath of fresh air for the group.
It's not the exact same as we're a new team...the women's game is growing so much. All the other teams have got so much better.
