Meanwhile, Ecclestone gave her comment “It’s really nice to win this award. It’s after a period in which we’ve played all three formats so it feels good to be recognized for my performances in the Test and the white-ball series.”

“We’ve been happy as a team how we’ve performed across this series. We would have liked to have won the Test match but hopefully, we can clinch the multi-format series. It’s all crucial preparation for the ICC Women’s Cricket World Cup in New Zealand when we’ll be defending the title we won in 2017, and we feel in a decent place as a team,” she added.

Notably, the T20I series between England Women and Indian Women is evenly poised at 1-1 with the last match of the series to take place on Wednesday, July 14 in Chelmsford.
