Capsey Expected to Reach New Heights in 2026

According to Nasser Hussain, Alice Capsey is on the verge of achieving unprecedented success in women's cricket in 2026, having gained a deeper understanding of her remarkable talent. With 34 ODI and 45 T20I appearances for England under her belt, Capsey has already proven herself to be a versatile and skilled all-format operator in international and franchise cricket. Hussain believes that Capsey's realization of her own potential could be the catalyst for her to reach new heights. "The penny has dropped" for the 21-year-old, says Hussain, who thinks Capsey is now beginning to grasp the full extent of her abilities. This newfound self-awareness could propel her to even greater heights in the world of women's cricket. Meanwhile, Michael Atherton has tipped 19-year-old Davina Perrin to make a significant impact this summer, following her impressive performance in The Hundred last year. With the T20 World Cup taking place on home soil, England's women face a challenging summer, and Atherton believes that Perrin is poised for a standout season. The hosts will have the advantage of familiar conditions and home support, but this will also bring added pressure. Despite reaching the semi-finals of the 50-over World Cup last year, England are not considered firm favorites to lift the T20 World Cup, with Australia remaining the team to beat.
