Capsey Poised for New Heights in 2026
Alice Capsey is on the verge of achieving unprecedented success in women's cricket in 2026, having recently 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 skilled all-format operator in international and franchise cricket. Her reputation as a powerful all-rounder has led Hussain to predict a breakout year for the 21-year-old, believing that she has finally realized her potential. "The penny has dropped" for Capsey, Hussain told the Sky Sports Cricket podcast, suggesting that she is now aware of her exceptional abilities. Capsey's growth is expected to be a key factor in England's upcoming campaigns, including the T20 World Cup on home soil. 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 approaching, England faces a challenging summer, and Atherton believes that the team's success will depend on their ability to cope with the added pressure of playing at home. Atherton has picked Perrin as his breakout player of 2026, praising her style and manner of play. England's chances of winning the T20 World Cup are uncertain, with Australia being the favorites, but Hussain believes that the team has the potential to make a strong impression on home soil.
