“It’s been the most unbelievable six weeks I have had in cricket,” says Charlotte Edwards, fresh off the plane after the victory with Mumbai Indians in the Women’s Premier League final on Sunday and about to head straight into a coaching session with Southern Vipers.
This 48-hour turnaround may sound like a comedown after Nat Sciver‑Brunt sealed a seven‑wicket win against Delhi Capitals at Mumbai’s Brabourne Stadium, but Edwards is buzzing. “I just love it,” she says, before heading to the Ageas Bowl. “Maybe the players will be happy to see me … maybe not.”
