With a tour of India scheduled on the finish of this 12 months adopted by the 2024 T20 World Cup in Bangladesh and the 50-over model in India in 2025, Lewis stated dealing with spin was a key space his facet should enhance if they're to contend for trophies.

"We've bought a 20-over World Cup in Bangladesh, we have a tour to India and we have a 50-over World Cup in India. So our subsequent three huge challenges in actuality, there's going to be a number of spin bowled at us. People will watch us play spin and so they'll go, 'proper, okay, we predict we will exploit this crew in that space'. So I'm actually eager to get to work with the women, and the way they play the spin bowling and the choices that they've, as a result of there's there a number of areas for development."

In the opening match of this latest series in Hove, England raced to 186 for 4 in 17 overs, with Capsey scoring a 26-ball half-century, before rain curtailed Sri Lanka's reply and the hosts won by 12 runs under the DLS method.

"We've been outplayed," Lewis reflected. "Credit to Sri Lanka, I assumed they performed some actually, actually good cricket. In explicit, they bowled extremely tight traces with all their spin bowlers and clearly we struggled to deal with that and did not play it significantly effectively. And there was some sloppy cricket at occasions in it with our batting.

"Chamari Athapaththu played exactly how I'd like our batters to play and put us under a lot of pressure. I thought she played fantastically well in the two innings that she got away in the last two games. The pace that they got away at in both games is obviously the difference between the teams with the bat as well."

England had been with out a variety of extra skilled gamers, opting to relaxation star allrounder Nat Sciver-Brunt, batter Sophia Dunkley and the world's main spinner, Sophie Ecclestone, who subsequently dislocated her proper, non-bowling, shoulder through the Hundred. They additionally misplaced seamer Lauren Bell to sickness and Tammy Beaumont continues to be missed within the shortest format as England search to show youthful gamers to the worldwide stage.

Sciver-Brunt and Beaumont will return for the three-match ODI collection, beginning in Durham on Saturday, however Lewis expressed no regrets over England's youth growth coverage.

"We're trying to work out how we want to play and the mindset we want to go into each game with, and which individuals are capable of doing that," Lewis stated. "And you won't find that out unless you expose them to international cricket. So the decision-making before the series was very much around trying to give people opportunity who've been sat on the edge of our squad or just outside our squad, to try and learn about what they're capable of under pressure.

"Obviously each time we have taken some threat by way of successful, however what we're hopeful of is the alternatives we have given the gamers will generate sensible teaching conversations and an understanding of the place every participant is at by way of themselves on their journey and the way they should develop as a result of we're a creating crew.

"We've got three teenagers out playing for us at the moment, which is fantastic, but they will now go away from this experience and be able to learn about how to improve their game, to be able to become brilliant international cricketers, to be able to dominate the top teams in the world. Those are the conversations that we'll be having with our players over the course of this next series and over the course of the next year or two."
