Wyatt-Hodge Returns to Smash India's Bowlers
30 May
Summary
- Danni Wyatt-Hodge is back after maternity leave to face India.
- She aims to perform strongly against Indian bowlers.
- England hopes her return will stabilize the batting lineup.
Danni Wyatt-Hodge is set to make her return to the England cricket team after a period of maternity leave. She expressed her eagerness to face and "smash Indian bowlers" as England prepares for the second women's T20I in Bristol. England is currently trailing India 1-0 in the three-match series.
Wyatt-Hodge took time off for the birth of her daughter, Daisy, missing recent T20I series. Her comeback is viewed as a crucial lift for England's batting, which has been a point of concern. Former pacer Tash Farrant believes Wyatt-Hodge's return will instill calm and energy into the team.
Farrant also highlighted the importance of spinner Linsey Smith's return to the lineup. Smith has been bowling well, particularly in the Power-play, and her ability to bring the ball back into right-handers is considered a valuable asset. England's bowlers, including Lauren Bell, will aim to set the tone with their respective strengths.
