HEATHER KNIGHT is excited about the next phase of her international career and ready to be “one of the girls” under new England captain Nat Sciver-Brunt.

Knight lost the captaincy following a disastrous away Ashes series at the start of this year, the multi-format series finishing 16-0 to Australia and sparking wholesale changes for the tourists.

Jon Lewis was dismissed as head coach and replaced by Charlotte Edwards, who Knight had taken over as captain from in 2016, and Sciver-Brunt will lead England into a new era, which begins with Wednesday’s T20 against the West Indies in Kent.
