England v India: first women's T20 cricket
Update: Date: 2025-06-28T12:30:23.000Z Title: Preamble Content: Charlotte Edwards' tenure as England coach has got off to a perfect start, winning all six matches against the West Indies across. It might be too early to attach a suffix to this team (Chazball maybe?) but a 100% record is a 100% record. After the Ashes thumping, it's job done so far. India will provide a sterner test. The third-ranked team in both ODIs and T20Is have a clutch of star batters including the returning 21-year-old Shafali Verma who makes a comeback after falling out of favour during India's sorry T20 World Cup campaign last year. Their bowling stocks aren't as well supplied and we could see a couple of new faces across the tour. England will start as favourites on home soil but will know a slip in the opening game will open old wounds. Edwards and her skipper, Nat Sciver-Brunt, will want to lay down a marker early doors. Will they continue to fly the flag of Chazball (I'm doubling down on the moniker), or will they slide back against decent opposition? We'll find out together. Play starts at 2:30pm. Toss and teams and other bits to come til then. If you'd like to get in touch, drop me a line.

India Comeback Star Reveals Sachin Tendulkar Inspiration: "Important To Respect..."
The returning Shafali Verma says watching videos of Sachin Tendulkar's batting in Test cricket, when she was not in the scheme of things, helped her understand the importance of playing each ball on merit. Closely observing Tendulkar's knocks played a part as she got down to plot her comeback into the Indian women's team after being dropped last year due to poor form. "Earlier I used to think of scoring a four or a six off every ball, but then I realised that it's important to give respect to a good ball. I saw Sachin (Tendulkar) sir's Test innings and got a lot of motivation from that," Shafali told BCCI Video ahead of the white-ball series opener against England in Nottingham. "It reminded me of my childhood days when I used to not even miss a single game of his. I covered almost every match again. Watching that, I learned that the only way to build a good innings is by respecting the good deliveries." Excellent performance in domestic cricket and Women's Premier League (WPL) paved the way for her comeback. The 21-year-old said that that comebacks are never easy and it became all the more tough after her father suffered a heart-attack just 10 days before the team selection last year. Shafali got dropped for the three-match ODI series against Australia in November after a poor run of form. "Whenever you make a comeback you encounter tough situations, but when you are back in the team environment, it is a very good feeling. I am very happy that I could make a comeback. "Just 10 days before my selection (for the series against Australia), my dad suffered a heart-attack. That was a very tough situation for me and after that I did not get selected in the team. I did not know what was happening. "I worked on my fitness for 20-25 days. I picked up the bat after 20-25 days and I felt very good. That gave me a different kind of energy, a different feeling. Time teaches you a lot of things. I will do my best and leave the rest to destiny." With time, her father's condition also improved and he was able to help Shafali out with her training. "After my dad recovered, he made me work a lot on my fitness before the domestic season. It was an up-down period for me, and I think it's important to face such situations as only then you can become a strong person." Shafali added that the time away from the national side taught her the value of cherishing the good moments. "If a player has savoured good days, he or she should also be ready for bad days. One should be ready to digest both, and only then you can become a star," said Shafali, who last played a T20I during the Women's T20 World Cup in 2024. When she was not in the national team, Shafali made up her mind not to miss any opportunity to score runs in domestic cricket. "I though wherever I get an opportunity, I will only think about scoring runs. I am not going to think about the future. And then WPL came. I said to myself that I will remain only in the present and forget about the future. Being in the present was the biggest motivation for me. "When my name came for the T20 series against England, my dad said 'only focus on your work, and leave the rest to destiny'. "I think, this is the time to win the series in England. I've played here before so I know the factors (that influence the game) well. Getting the jersey back after a long time is a moment to cherish."

Worked on fitness and believed in the process: Shafali shares comeback journey to Indian team
Nottingham: India opener Shafali Verma revealed that she worked on her fitness and believed in the process after being dropped from the team last year. The youngster said she has learned how to deal with setbacks during her time away from the team. Picked for the five-match T20I series against England, Shafali will don the Indian jersey on Saturday for the first time after eight months. 'I worked on my fitness for 20-25 days. I picked up the bat after 20-25 days and I felt very good. That gave me a different kind of energy, a different feeling. Time teaches you a lot of things. I will do my best and leave the rest to destiny," Shafali told BCCI in an interview. 'Whenever you make a comeback you encounter tough situations, but when you are back in the team environment, it is a very good feeling. I am very happy that I could make a comeback," she added. Recalling her comeback trail, the 21-year-old revealed her father suffered a heart attack just 10 days before her omission from the side last year. 'Just 10 days before my selection (for the series against Australia), my dad suffered a heart attack. That was a very tough situation for me and after that I did not get selected in the team. I did not know what was happening. However, her father's condition improved and he helped Shafali to hone her skills. 'After my dad recovered, he made me work a lot on my fitness before the domestic season. It was an up-down period for me, and I think it's important to face such situations as only then you can become a strong person.' 'If a player has savoured good days, he or she should also be ready for bad days. One should be ready to digest both, and only then you can become a star," she added. The right-handed batter added watching legendary Sachin Tendulkar's Test knocks helped her to rejig her batting style and pay respect to good balls. 'Earlier I used to think of scoring a four or a six off every ball, but then I realised that it's important to give respect to a good ball. I saw Sachin (Tendulkar) sir's Test innings and got a lot of motivation from that,' Shafali said. 'It reminded me of my childhood days when I used to not even miss a single game of his. I covered almost every match again. Watching that, I learned that the only way to build a good innings is by respecting the good deliveries," she added. During her time away from the national team, Shafali was determined to make the most of every opportunity to score runs in domestic cricket. 'I though wherever I get an opportunity, I will only think about scoring runs. I am not going to think about the future. And then WPL came. I said to myself that I will remain only in the present and forget about the future. Being in the present was the biggest motivation for me.
