Charlie Dean Open to Succeeding Heather Knight as England Captain
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter


Charlie Dean is pondering over whether she’s prepared to take on the role of England captain, yet she’s in no hurry to dismiss the idea entirely. If the opportunity arises, she wouldn’t turn it down.

The all-rounder, who excels in spin-bowling, has been highlighted by former players Lydia Greenway and Alex Hartley as a promising candidate to take over from Heather Knight following England’s comprehensive Ashes defeat. This puts her in the same league as Nat Sciver-Brunt, Amy Jones, and Sophie Ecclestone, all of whom are speculated as possible successors.

Having accumulated 82 international appearances across different formats by the age of 24, Dean already brings a wealth of experience. She has also captained in the Hundred with London Spirit and led England A in the past.

When the prospect of leading the team was mentioned during Somerset’s pre-season media day, Dean gave a measured response. She shared with BBC Sport, “I’m definitely growing into a leadership role. I wouldn’t dismiss it, but whether this moment is the right fit, I’m still figuring out.”

She continued, “It’s truly flattering to be thought of in such a high regard, but it’s crucial for me to gain more experience in these positions. That way, if the opportunity does present itself, I can commit wholeheartedly.”

Currently, the focus isn’t solely on selecting a new captain. The England and Wales Cricket Board is prioritizing the appointment of a successor to the recently dismissed head coach Jon Lewis before diving into the captaincy deliberations.

Charlotte Edwards, known for her leadership and coaching at Hampshire, is widely considered the favorite for the coaching position. However, the ECB remains tight-lipped about the hiring process, including its stance on diversity initiatives like the Rooney Rule.

Having played under Edwards with Southern Vipers, Dean holds Edwards in high esteem. She praised, “Her ability to inspire excellence and connect with players is truly remarkable. It’s no surprise that her name comes up so often in these discussions.”

For more insights: Ben Duckett emphasizes that the ‘distraught’ England squad is committed to winning every match.
