The T20I against New Zealand at Canterbury was the seamer\u2019s first match for England for almost a year. Now she is excited about the three-match T20I series against India, starting at Chelmsford on Thursday.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen you spend that little bit of time away from the national team, it does make it that little bit sweeter coming back,\u201d Wong told        <i>Sportstar<\/i> over the phone. \u201cBeing able to represent your country and play cricket at the highest level is something that will always make me immensely proud.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>She believes the India series is huge. \u201cAnytime India is in town, it is always really good,\u201d the 24-year-old said. \u201cThe noise that surrounds it both, you know, with the media and, I guess, on the side of the pitch with the spectators is always heightened. It is a massive opportunity for us and massively exciting as well.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The two countries will play a one-off Test at Lord\u2019s in July. \u201cI love test cricket,\u201d she said. \u201cI love it. I get that scheduling reasons and stuff, as it is pretty tricky to fit more into the schedule. The last few years we have seen a quite a sharp uptake of women\u2019s Tests being played. I hope it continues.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>After the T20I series, England will be hosting the Women\u2019s T20 World Cup. Wong feels it will be difficult to pick favourites.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe just had a really competitive series against New Zealand, who are the reigning World champs at the moment,\u201d she said. \u201cWe obviously know that the talents of Australia, India and South Africa are enormous. But, the brilliant thing about cricket is that it is an individual team sport, isn\u2019t it? So, you know, any team is only one individual, brilliant performance away from beating anyone else.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><i>Watch India Women\u2019s Tour of England starting on May 28, from 11:00 PM IST onwards, live on Sony Sports Ten 1 SD &amp; HD and Sony LIV.<\/i><\/p>\n<p class=\"publish-time\" id=\"end-of-article\">Published on May 27, 2026<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/sportstar.thehindu.com\/cricket\/womens-cricket\/issy-wong-excited-for-england-vs-india-women-t20i-series-one-off-test-cricket-lords-t20-world-cup\/article71029346.ece\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Issy Wong returned to international cricket last week.
