“Heather Knight has proven its value to England after losing the team,” says Lauren Winfield Hill. Cricket news

Lauren Winfield Hill of Sky Sports Cricket believes that Heather Knight has proven its value to England after losing in a catastrophic winter.

In the aftermath of a white 16-0 in ash, Knight stepped down as a leader as Nat Skaver Brunst took responsibility, as coach John Lewis spoils his way to Charlotte Edwards to take over.

The new era began with the opening of T20i in their series against West Indies, where England moved away with a comfortable victory eight.

Despite the refreshing outfit, the branch of a former commander (43no) that helped driving the road was where England installed a pursuit of 147, in partnership with Sofia Donkeli (81no) as a main duo who participated in an uninterrupted partnership 91.

Meanwhile, Sciver-Grount fell on a duck of balls.

For Winfield-Hill, it is a moment that would weaken Knight’s doubts about her role on the side, which has confirmed that she is still one of the best players of England.

“I think it will really confirm its location in this aspect,” said Winfield Hill.

“You are no longer the team leader, but the good for me is that you are still one of the best players in the country.

“No one wants to move in this situation, two share, more than Heather Knight to see the game at home.

“In particular, it is very good in chasing. She knows the rhythm, and she knows her strengths, and when to pull the trigger.

“It will be just a redirect for it because it has a real value for this aspect.

“Because, undoubtedly, I will ask about it when she was lost.”

Dunkley: Knight was great with the group

Dunkley was full of praise on her former leader and beating partner, and she insisted that she was “wonderful” with the group throughout the transition period from its leadership to the new era.

In fact, she believes that “nothing changes” when it comes to the leadership that Knight brings to the team.

“Heather was great about the group,” said Dunkley.

“She is a natural leader, and everyone respects her, and nothing has changed in this regard.

“She hit well, has a great partnership, and a wonderful to see her there to do what she is doing better.”

While Dunkley believes that he has not changed much for Knight, she admits that there is a different feeling under the new coach Edwards who told her to keep things “simple” and “quiet”.

“Edwards is quiet and clear as you want to do, we had a good week in this game and it is great to start winning.”

“I really wanted to go out and contribute to the team and have an impact on the game and I am pleased to do that tonight.

“She was clear with me about what you want me to do, and play with my strength.

“My strength is to strike a nice and straight and take the game when I want to be clear in making, and nothing too there, to keep it simple and this is what I tried to do tonight.”
