Danni Wyatt
England and Southern Brave batter on Sky SportsI can't wait to get going again in the summer. It's been really good to watch the draft so far and I look forward to watching the rest of it
We probably need another bowler or another all-rounder.
Going to play in Pakistan was unbelievable. I've never been before and was really grateful for the opportunity. There are talks about a PSL happening later this year so hopefully I'll be back for that.
The experience of meeting new people is great. The idea of The Hundred was to get more girls playing cricket and it's so good to see that.
