It’s also been really good to see the talent coming through from the younger pathway players and it’s been amazing to see the standard of cricket demonstrated by the squad over the winter, so I’m excited to see everyone apply their skill and talent to the matches this season. ”

Assistant Coach, George Setterfield said:

“I’m really pleased that we can give Emilia this opportunity to lead the group again this season. After the success of last year, I’m hoping that she can lead the group to another strong set of performances in the new competition structure. I’m sure the team will benefit from her experiences of playing for Italy.”
