KATE CROSS feels England’s emerging talent makes it “a really exciting time” heading into this summer’s T20 World Cup and beyond.

Jon Lewis’s side will bid to follow up their T20 clean sweep against Pakistan by sealing a 2-0 one-day international series win against them tomorrow in Chelmsford, weather permitting.

A hectic schedule lies ahead for England, who next face series in both formats against New Zealand and then Ireland before the T20 World Cup begins in Bangladesh in October.
