Read our privacy policy England batter Tammy Beaumont believes there is “no tougher challenge” than trying to defeat Australia in their own backyard ahead of the Women’s Ashes beginning this weekend. It’s been a long drought, not having the Ashes in our hands.” Beaumont made her mark the last time she squared off against Australia in the summer of 2023 as her stunning 208 in the Trent Bridge Test set a new benchmark for the highest score by an English woman. “People just assume it would be my Ashes highlight but I find it quite tough, and I say ‘I should have got another 80 in the second innings and won the game’,” Beaumont said. Knowing it is possible certainly gives you a lot of confidence.” Beaumont, the leading run-scorer in England’s seminal 2017 World Cup triumph, is set for her sixth Ashes appearance but the 33-year-old has given no thought to this potentially being her last trip Down Under.
