One-time champions England Women are ready for the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup 2024. On 27th August 2024, the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) announced the complete 15-member squad for the upcoming Women’s T20 World Cup.
Although Bangladesh have the hosting rights for the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup 2024, the tournament has been shifted to the United Arab Emirates (UAE) due to the present tense situation in Bangladesh.
In the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup 2024, England Women will start from Group B, where they will face Bangladesh Women, South Africa Women, Scotland Women, and West Indies Women. While there are two groups in this tournament with five teams each, the top teams from each group will advance to the semi-finals of the tournament.
England Women's records in the previous ICC Women's T20 World Cup tournaments
England Women won the inaugural edition of the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup (2009). They finished as the runners-up three times (2012, 2014, and 2018). After Australia Women (appeared in seven Women’s T20 World Cup finals), England Women are the second team to appear in four Women’s T20 World Cup finals.
In the last two ICC Women’s T20 World Cups (2020 and 2023), England Women reached the semi-finals but couldn’t advance to the finals.
