Jess Ennis, Chrissie Ohuruogu, Vicky Pendleton and Laura Trott, to name a few, have acted as female role models in England.
Quote by -Isa Guha
England Women regularly play against Under-15 and U-17 county men's sides, which is great for the girls to take them out of their comfort zones. It's important to find a balance, though, because the way in which women's cricket is played is still very different.
Quote by -Isa Guha
I prioritise different things at different times, so when a cricket tour is coming up, cricket takes priority. But then there are times when I need to focus on my studies. I think it's good to have a balance.
Quote by -Isa Guha
I am following the IPL. I think it would be great for the women's game, creating more competition and showcasing the world's best players from different countries. It would also be a stepping-stone to women's cricket becoming professional.
Quote by -Isa Guha
In T20, I think it's really valuable to have a bowler who can bring the ball back into the right hander at pace.
Quote by -Isa Guha
I do love the Ashes and some of my best memories are from Ashes cricket. I just wish we'd played a few more Test matches.
Quote by -Isa Guha
It has been a pleasure to play alongside some truly special cricketers and to see them grow as players.
Quote by -Isa Guha
It's definitely good to play out of my comfort zone, especially in the Sydney Premier League which is one of the toughest leagues in the world.
Quote by -Isa Guha
Naturally, any time that our national team beats Australia is pleasing but the first time we beat them in 10 years at Stratford in 2005 was a day I'll never forget.
Quote by -Isa Guha
Something we do every tour is to choose a song for the team CD that gets played in the dressing room prior to games.
Quote by -Isa Guha
Back in 2005, we lost in the semi-final of the World Cup and that was a great learning curve for the team. It gave us a goal and even more of a hunger to win the World Cup, so we went away and set ourselves a long-term plan to do it.
Quote by -Isa Guha
In Twenty20, because of the pace of the game, everyone is constantly involved in the field, you have to work as a team covering each other, there's no time to take your eye off the ball.
Quote by -Isa Guha
I love the multi-format series. Within it they've found a way to retain Test matches and England v Australia in the Test arena, they were always my favourite matches to play in.
Quote by -Isa Guha
I feel very lucky and grateful that I've been welcomed by the Australian public.
Quote by -Isa Guha
T20 is fast-paced and a wonderful vehicle to attract wider audience. On a technical level, it probably has impacted Test cricket.
Quote by -Isa Guha
I realised my dream of playing for England when I first met Claire Taylor and then Charlotte Edwards at the age of 11. I didn't even know there was an England Women's team until then.
Quote by -Isa Guha
As an athlete there are times in your career where, during a game, any decision you make seems to be the right one. The bowler bowls where you want, you don't have to think and you are so 'in the zone' that you are not aware of anything else around you.
Quote by -Isa Guha
The 'Natmeg' from England's Natalie Sciver attracted a lot of attention as a brilliant piece of improvisation, which requires every bit as much talent as a Tillakaratne Dilshan 'scoop,' or a Jos Buttler 'ramp' shot.
Quote by -Isa Guha
Asian parents generally tend to channel their children, especially their daughters, into studying and not sport.
Quote by -Isa Guha
Before my parents came to England from Calcutta in the 1970s, they used to go to games at Eden Gardens.
Quote by -Isa Guha
My brother was playing hockey, tennis, badminton... I basically copied everything he did.
Quote by -Isa Guha
Kohli scores so freely. He's like Joe Root in that before you know it, he's on 30 off 20 balls. He is also the master of the chase - he calculates so the risks so perfectly.
Quote by -Isa Guha
To people who don't take women's cricket seriously, I'd say: just watch a game first, and then make your judgement.
Quote by -Isa Guha
My first game was against India and while my roots will always be Indian I was born in England and wanted to represent them.
Quote by -Isa Guha
When the cricket is serious and it's a really important time in the middle we focus on that but obviously when it isn't there is a lot of time to chat and we can use that as time to bring the comedians in a bit more. We get the balance right between getting the calling of the cricket right but having some fun as well.
Quote by -Isa Guha
I read the Guardian when I can get it, but I have to admit I mostly turn to the sport.
Quote by -Isa Guha
We used to live five minutes from the local cricket club in High Wycombe. My brother Kaush, who is seven years older, played there.
Quote by -Isa Guha
IPL is a T20 franchise tournament combining cricket and Bollywood to offer entertainment.
Quote by -Isa Guha
It's been great to see broadcasters waking up to the fact that women do offer a different perspective.
Quote by -Isa Guha
When you start off a T20 innings you want someone who is going to be hitting the top of off stump, causing problems and being quite disciplined with the ball.
Quote by -Isa Guha
My parents are proud of my achievements. They send articles to my grandparents in India. Everyone's happy I'm doing something I want to do.
Quote by -Isa Guha
I remember my England debut, in 2002. It came in Jersey, in a triangular tournament with New Zealand and India. To say that it did not generate great local interest is putting it mildly: our first game, against India, attracted a handful of spectators.
Quote by -Isa Guha
I wasn't treated different to anyone else, I just performed on the pitch and that helped my selection for the 'Development England' side at the age of 13 and I had no extra boundaries just because I was Asian.
Quote by -Isa Guha
Many England girls have grown up playing men's cricket and trained in county men's academies, so they've faced 70-80 mph bowling. So when it comes to the women's game you have a 75mph bowler who's not as tall and not getting as much bounce, you feel more assured.
