The T20 Charlotte Edwards Cup is only four years old, but Saturday’s finals day at Derby is set to be the competition’s last. From 2025, women’s domestic cricket will be played by counties, not regions and though the England and Wales Cricket Board has yet to confirm arrangements under the new structure, the Guardian understands that the most likely option is for a Women’s Vitality Blast to run alongside its male counterpart.

But the fact that the Charlotte Edwards Cup may soon retire to the great trophy cabinet in the sky gives Saturday’s matches added spice, at least according to 2024’s leading run-scorer, Kathryn Bryce: “It’ll be pretty special being part of the last one and a big stamp too, to hopefully take that momentum into next year.”
