Capsey Poised for a Breakthrough Year in Women's Cricket

Alice Capsey is expected to reach new heights in women's cricket in 2026, with former England captain Nasser Hussain believing she has finally realized her full potential. Having already established herself as a versatile player in international and franchise cricket, Capsey has made 34 ODI and 45 T20I appearances for England. Hussain attributes her growth to her newfound understanding of her talent, stating that it takes time for young cricketers to cope with the pressures of the sport. Meanwhile, Michael Atherton has tipped 19-year-old Davina Perrin to have a standout season, following her impressive performance in The Hundred last year. With the T20 World Cup approaching, England's women face a challenging summer, and Atherton believes that while they have an advantage playing at home, they will also face added pressure. Nasser Hussain agrees that England are a strong side but notes that they often struggle in high-pressure knockout games, and their test will be to match the likes of Australia, India, and South Africa.
