London Spirits, on the other hand, had an abysmal season last time around and will aim to improve in 2023. The Heather Knight-led side has quality all-rounders in the form of Charlie Dean, Grace Harris and Amelia Kerr and without a doubt, the trio is going to be London’s biggest strength in the season. They also have Richa Ghosh in the middle, and it will be interesting to see her approach as the stumper-batter recently failed to make it to the national squad.
