Home comforts for England ahead of their World Cup opening tie
Western Mail
|October 03, 2025

Charlotte Edwards’ squad kick off their campaign today against a dangerous but inconsistent South Africa at the Barsapara Stadium, deep in northeast India’s Assam region.
It is a first overseas assignment for the head coach and her captain Nat Sciver-Brunt, who came together in April charged with setting a struggling team back one course, but one that began with a reassuringly familiar outing.
“The girls have found a mall that has an M&S in, so there’s a few home comforts out here,” Sciver-Brunt said with a smile on the eve of her biggest test yet as skipper.
England have seen their status as serious tournament contenders steadily diminish since they won this trophy on home soil in 2017, leading to a leadership overhaul and the chance to turn a fresh page this month.
