England women’s wicketkeeper Sarah Taylor could play cricket with men

ENGLAND women’s wicketkeeper Sarah Taylor could play for Sussex’s second XI side this summer.

Taylor is preparing to travel to India later this week as England attempt to defend the 50-over World Cup they won four years ago, but admitted she could turn out in a men’s county match if required by Sussex. Supporting the 23-year-old’s cause is the national women’s coach, Mark Lane. “The plan is also for me to play some early season games for the MCC boys. Mark is trying to get me a lot of men’s cricket which can only help my game.”
