HEATHER KNIGHT is hopeful Lord’s can be a more “regular fixture” for her England side as they look to complete an unbeaten home summer there tomorrow.

Last year’s Independent Commission for Equity in Cricket labelled Lord’s as “still a home principally for men,” branding the national women’s team never having played a Test at the home of cricket as “truly appalling.”

While England and Wales Cricket Board chair Richard Thompson has a stated aim to rectify that by 2026, Lord’s did host a Women’s Ashes T20 12 months ago and is scheduled to host at least one white-ball match every year until 2031, starting against New Zealand tomorrow.
