WOMEN’S RAPIDS PLAYER GLENN SWITCHES FOCUS TO T20I CRICKET

WOMEN’S RAPIDS PLAYER GLENN SWITCHES FOCUS TO T20I CRICKET

Worcestershire Women’s Rapids player Sarah Glenn will turn her attention to T20I cricket tomorrow after a successful start to her England career at ODI level.

The leg spinner picked up eight wickets in three matches against Pakistan in Malaysia.

Her efforts helped secure a 2-0 triumph for England with one game abandoned due to rain – a match in which Glenn returned fine figures of 4-18.

It meant England finished second in the ICC Women’s Championship behind Australia with 14 wins from 21 matches and a total of 29 points.

They have also qualified automatically for the 2021 World Cup by finishing in the top four.

But now Glenn and her team-mates will look to continue the same form in three T20Is against Pakistan – also in Malaysia – with the first match taking place tomorrow (Tuesday).

Glenn said: “I was really happy to get four wickets (in the third ODI) but it’s a shame the rain came and the game had to be abandoned.

“I really enjoyed the three matches and it was good to come out with a series win. The girls have been really welcoming and I’m looking forward to the T20s.”

The second T20I is on Thursday and the third 24 hours later.
