Through an ICC media release, she shared her thoughts from the team's training camp in Abu Dhabi, the captain, Heather Knight, emphasized the importance of the event and the preparation leading up to it. "It's an honour to lead the England team into another World Cup. World Cups are always special events to be involved in as a player and create lasting memories. There's nothing that quite compares to having all the best teams in the world competing to win that trophy and you always feel honoured to be a part of it," she said. The captain praised the squad's balance of experience and youth, highlighting their readiness for the challenges ahead. "We've got a lovely mix of experience and youth, with players who've been there and done it before, but we've also got a few players who are taking part in a World Cup for the first time which is really exciting. My message to them is to enjoy each moment and embrace the challenge."

 As for their preparation in Abu Dhabi, she remarked, "It's been a great set up out here that has allowed us to get used to the heat and conditions we will face. It's all starting to feel real now as we get closer to our opening match against Bangladesh on the 5th of October."

The captain spoke with confidence about the team's performance over the last year, saying, "We've got a lot of bases covered and over the last year, everyone in the squad has stepped up at some point to put in brilliant performances to help the team win games of cricket. We want to make great memories both on and off the pitch and everyone is excited for the month ahead."

Reflecting on the tournament venue, she acknowledged the limited history of women's cricket in the UAE but noted their readiness: "There hasn't been a lot of women's cricket in the UAE to date, so the sample size for Women's T20 matches in the region is small. We've been preparing for Bangladesh for a long time, getting players ready for those conditions, but despite the shift to the UAE I don't think our plans change too much." Finally, she emphasized the team's mindset heading into the competition. "It's important not to change how we play because it's the World Cup with added pressure and added external expectation to be successful. It's about doing the best we can and approaching it with a one-game-at-a-time mentality."
