Dunkley is ready to take on world
Coventry Telegraph
|October 01, 2025
SOPHIA Dunkley has experienced cricket's “cruel” nature but a sparkling past few months has left the England batter's confidence at an all-time high heading into the Women’s World Cup.
Sophia Dunkley has been on a rollercoaster ride
A career with plenty of ups and downs is epitomised by Dunkley batting in every position from one to seven in both one-day internationals and Twenty20s, never able to establish herself fully in either of the white-ball sides.
“It's definitely been a bit of a rollercoaster ride,’ she said.
“The way I can play sometimes looks quite exciting and when it comes off, it's great, but when it doesn't, it isn’t”
Tweakstotechnique and temperament were made after a low-key 2023 Ashes, and Dunkley now feels she has a firmer grasp of what is expected of her under captain Nat Sciver-Brunt and head coach Charlotte Edwards.
