‘Capsey has time on her side after shortage of ODI cricket’
England's Alice Capsey bats during a nets session at the Incora County Ground, Derby ahead of the fourth Women's International T20 match on Thursday, May 22, 2024

ENGLAND captain Heather Knight has urged patience with Alice Capsey after admitting the teenager is still to find her feet in ODIs following a more regular diet of T20s in her fledgling career.

Capsey heads into the first of three ODIs against Pakistan today with a meagre batting average of 13.9, albeit from a small sample size of 10 innings while she has featured everywhere in the top five.

Knight accepts England building towards October’s T20 World Cup in Bangladesh and the rise of franchise leagues has left their youngsters such as Capsey with fewer opportunities to crack the 50-over format.
