Cricket: Taylor back behind the stumps for World Cup

ENGLAND wicket-keeper Sarah Taylor has spoken about her battle with mental health problems and admitted that “getting out of bed was the highlight of a day.”

Taylor is gearing up for this summer’s World Cup, after being included when England this week announced the 15 who will bid for glory on home soil this summer.

Speaking for the first time since her return was confirmed, Taylor said she was ready for the extra pressures of a World Cup campaign.

The 28-year-old last played international cricket at the ICC World Twenty20 in India almost 14 months ago but was back in the England fold in Abu Dhabi as they prepared for summer at the start of this season.

She said: “I’m incredibly comfortable to be back playing, and the girls have been absolutely brilliant.

“It’s been a rollercoaster of anxiety … the ECB have been brilliant in terms of not just rushing me back in.

“I’m back and I’m ready to face the World Cup and the scrutiny that professional sport brings.”
