Capsey Expected to Reach New Heights in 2026

Alice Capsey is poised to achieve unprecedented success in women's cricket in 2026, having come to terms with her immense talent, according to Nasser Hussain. With 34 ODI and 45 T20I appearances for England under her belt, Capsey has established herself as a versatile player in international and franchise cricket. Hussain believes that Capsey's realization of her talent could be the catalyst for her to reach new heights. "I think she's suddenly grasping how much of a talent she is," Hussain said. "It takes time for young cricketers to cope with the pressure and attention, but I think she is now - and she's a very gifted cricketer." Meanwhile, Michael Atherton has tipped 19-year-old Davina Perrin to make a significant impact this summer. Atherton was impressed by Perrin's masterful 42-ball century in The Hundred last year and believes she is set for a standout season. With England hosting the T20 World Cup, the team faces a challenging summer, and Atherton notes that playing at home brings both advantages and pressure. While England is a strong side, they often struggle in knockout games, and their test will be to match the likes of Australia, India, and South Africa when the standard improves.
