England captain Charlotte Edwards is excited to be leading her team in one of the first fixtures of the new tournament. ”As players, the new ICC Women’s Championship is a fantastic concept,” she said, adding, “It gives us real structure leading into the ICC Women’s World Cup in England in 2017, and makes every ODI series that we play between now and then significant. Whenever I step out to play for England I want to win, but now more than ever before, every result really does matter. I cannot wait to lead the England women’s team against India in our first round of matches in the ICC Women’s Championship this summer.” Catch the live streaming of the India Women vs England Women 1st ODI here.
