Overview

• England went down 3-2 in the T20I series and 2-1 in the ODIs against India at home, marking India’s first multi-format series wins in England.
• Coach Charlotte Edwards insisted the setbacks were not a “reality check” and said England can beat any team in the World Cup if they perform at their best.
• Edwards has introduced minimum fitness benchmarks and revamped fielding sessions to address England’s “poor fielding” tag.
• The team was without senior batter Heather Knight and saw captain Nat Sciver-Brunt miss the final two T20Is due to injury.
• England will meet India again in a September 25 World Cup warm-up in Bengaluru and on October 19 in their group-stage fixture at Indore.
