Charlotte Edwards opens up on England ouster

In a frank, thoughtful and wide-ranging interview with the Daily Mail's Paul Newman, Charlotte Edwards opens up about how she was informed that the management was looking at other options, her surprise, pain and disappointment on hearing the news, and the avenues she might explore in her post-England career.

"A lot of people have said to me you must hope they struggle but I really don't,' said Edwards. 'There's not a bit of me that wants them to do badly because I've invested so much time in that team and programme. Why would I want them to fail now?

"I wish I was still there with them but I certainly don't want them to fall flat on their faces because there's some amazing talent and perhaps all they need is that warrior mentality that I hope was a big part of my game."
