Following their disappointing exit from the Women’s T20 World Cup, the England women’s cricket team, led by Heather Knight, travels to South Africa for a multi-format series before facing Australia in the Women’s Ashes. The series comprises three T20 matches, three one-day internationals, and a four-day Test starting December 15. Player Kate Cross believes that the quick return to play offers an opportunity to prove themselves against a strong South African side and change perceptions after the World Cup fallout.
