'Hadn't Really Comprehended,’ Says Lauren Bell On Spearheading England's Pace Attack
T20 World Cup: England pacer Lauren Bell has admitted she is still coming to terms with leading the team’s fast-bowling unit, saying she “hadn't really comprehended” stepping into a role once occupied by some of the country’s most iconic seamers.
At just 25, Bell has evolved into the leader of England’s pace attack following the exits of stalwarts such as Anya Shrubsole and Katherine Brunt, along with the more recent absence of Kate Cross. Her rise began with a breakthrough in the inaugural season of The Hundred in 2021, followed by her international debut the next year and appearances in multiple global tournaments since.
Reflecting on her progression, Bell acknowledged the unexpected nature of her ascent into a senior role within the squad. "I hadn't really comprehended the fact that maybe I was. With Crossy leaving, Katherine and Anya, slowly I just filled into that spot and I guess now I am. It does feel crazy. I don't know where the time has gone or how this has happened. It is exciting and cool and a job that I really love," she told BBC Sport.
