Sarah Hunter was hailed as an “absolutely brilliant” leader after being named to captain hot favourites England at the upcoming Women’s World Cup.
North Shields-born Hunter has 135 caps to her name and heads to New Zealand with a team unbeaten in its last 25 internationals.
England are the first Test-playing nation – male or female – to win 25 successive games and are widely expected to claim a third world title after wins in 1994 and 2014.
