Heather Knight on England's World T20 hopes, the emergence of a new generation of stars and how her side can FINALLY regain the Ashes this winter
Heather Knight has been a key player for England ever since her debut in 2010
Knight, who became captain in 2016, has scored over 6,000 international runs
She is set for a busy winter with England ahead of the T20 World Cup and Ashes
Heather Knight is a figure who perfectly defines the growth of women's cricket in England.
After debuting in 2010 at the age of 19, Knight was one of the first players to receive an ECB central contract when they were introduced in 2014.
Over the years, Knight, now 33, has racked up more than 250 international appearances, scored over 6,000 runs and developed in to one of the all-time greats of English cricket.
Given all she has achieved and having recently passed eight years as captain, many would forgive Knight for resting on her laurels, but that is simply something not in her nature.
'I've got lots more to give,' she exclusively tells Mail Sport. 'I'm enjoying things and not looking too far ahead.
