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.

I'd like to thank my family and friends for their continual support over the years and to all those involved in helping me develop as a cricketer of which there are too many to mention.

I do speak a bit of Bengali.

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 am High Wycombe born and bred.

As a pundit, it's important to tell the viewer something they might not know, be unbiased and not sit on the fence.

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.

When I was 11 I was scouted by the Thames Valley under-21s. It was really daunting. I was scared for my life when I went in to bat. The first ball hit me on the leg, the second ball got me out, so it wasn't great but it made me stronger.

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.

When we won the 2009 World Cup in Australia, we flew economy, shared hotel rooms and had a 10:45 P.M. curfew.

It is important for big names such as Sunil Gavaskar and Ravi Shastri to get on board and recognise that women do actually understand the game and they can play as well.

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

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

My parents were proud of the fact that I was playing cricket, they used to ferry me around during the weekends to play the game.

Isa Guha

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

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.

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.

Mum was the strongest person I knew.

You want to get both sides of the story and it's my role to try and bring that out of people.

I think it's always really important in broadcast to be able to get different views across and not just go down one route, because that's essentially journalism.

Isa Guha

I've never really seen myself as a role model, but if others see me as that then it's something of which I'd be very proud.
