Lauren Bell Praises Coach Charlotte Edwards
The team's focus on cricket rather than fitness, combined with Edwards' discipline and empathy, has brought a new sense of optimism to the team. As they prepare to face India and start a new era, the England women's cricket team is looking to build on their recent success and make a statement in the women's game.
England fast bowler Lauren Bell credits new head coach Charlotte Edwards with bringing a "winning mentality" to the team, as they prepare to face India in an eight-match series starting on Saturday at Trent Bridge. The team is looking to build on their 6-0 win over the West Indies and start a new era under Edwards' leadership. Edwards has implemented changes, including setting minimum standards for performances, and has helped the team review games objectively and deal with pressure situations better.
The England women's cricket team is undergoing a significant transformation, with a new professional structure at county level and equal starting salaries with men. However, they still face a tough challenge against dominant teams like Australia, who have dominated the women's game for years. Edwards, a former England captain and player, is determined to lead the team to success and has brought discipline and empathy to her coaching style. The team has been under scrutiny for their fitness levels, but Edwards and players like Tammy Beaumont believe the focus should be on cricket rather than fitness.
The team's new captain, Nat Sciver-Brunt, will lead the team in the series against India, followed by the 50-over World Cup in India and Sri Lanka, and the Twenty20 world tournament in England. With no player guaranteed a place in the starting XI, the team is looking to build on their recent success and start a new era under Edwards' leadership. Bell's praise for Edwards is a testament to the coach's impact on the team, and the team is looking forward to the challenges ahead.
