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.

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.

I feel very lucky and grateful that I've been welcomed by the Australian public.

T20 is fast-paced and a wonderful vehicle to attract wider audience. On a technical level, it probably has impacted Test cricket.

It's about who holds their nerve under pressure.

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.

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.

I've always been an England fan. I was born and bred here.

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.

People say that because I'm short I get a lot more skid off the pitch.

Asian parents generally tend to channel their children, especially their daughters, into studying and not sport.

Before my parents came to England from Calcutta in the 1970s, they used to go to games at Eden Gardens.

My brother was playing hockey, tennis, badminton... I basically copied everything he did.

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.

I am High Wycombe born and bred.

To people who don't take women's cricket seriously, I'd say: just watch a game first, and then make your judgement.

My first game was against India and while my roots will always be Indian I was born in England and wanted to represent them.

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.

I read the Guardian when I can get it, but I have to admit I mostly turn to the sport.

I do speak a bit of Bengali.

We used to live five minutes from the local cricket club in High Wycombe. My brother Kaush, who is seven years older, played there.

IPL is a T20 franchise tournament combining cricket and Bollywood to offer entertainment.

It's been great to see broadcasters waking up to the fact that women do offer a different perspective.

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.
