Sarah Glenn Ready to Spin England to T20 World Cup Glory
England’s Sarah Glenn, having overcome a concussion, is eager to resume her role as a key spinner in the team’s preparations for the T20 World Cup. The leg-spinner missed the latter part of the New Zealand series due to a head injury but has since regained fitness and played in the Rachael Heyhoe Flint Trophy.
Glenn, alongside Sophie Ecclestone and Charlie Dean, forms a formidable spin trio for England. They will face a stern test against Pakistan in a three-match T20I series starting on Saturday. The series will serve as a crucial build-up to the World Cup in Bangladesh in October.
While Glenn, Ecclestone, and Dean are the established spinners, they are aware of the competition from Linsey Smith, who has returned to the England squad after a five-year absence. Smith’s impressive performance in a warm-up match against Pakistan has kept her in contention.
Glenn acknowledges the competitive nature of the team and the pressure to maintain her place. She believes that the trio of spinners must continue to perform consistently to retain their spots.
Despite the focus on the World Cup, Glenn remains cautious about the conditions in Bangladesh. She emphasizes the importance of adapting to the unfamiliar pitches and communicating effectively as a bowling unit.
The Pakistan series will provide England with valuable experience against different batters and prepare them for the challenges they will face in the World Cup. Glenn is excited to see how the pitches play and is confident that the team will continue to develop their game in the lead-up to the tournament.
