ENGLAND head coach Jon Lewis wishes they could begin their T20 World Cup campaign immediately, but remains confident about what they can achieve in Bangladesh come October after an unbeaten home summer.

A washout at the end of May in Taunton was the only blot on England’s copybook across 14 white-ball matches with Pakistan and New Zealand.

Key contributions with bat and ball respectively from captain Heather Knight and Lauren Bell alongside a fine all-round display by Charlie Dean inspired a 20-run win over the White Ferns at Lord’s on Wednesday, which secured a 5-0 T20 series whitewash.
