Charlie Dean insists England will 'keep winning' under Charlotte Edwards' straightforward message ahead of the Women's T20 World Cup. The vice-captain led from the front in Monday's series-clinching victory over New Zealand, taking three wickets alongside Dani Gibson as England bowled out the White Ferns for just 80.

Dean praised England's bowling attack, highlighting the new-ball partnership of Linsey Smith and Lauren Bell. With Nat Sciver-Brunt still recovering from a hamstring injury, Dean has stepped in as captain and earned teammate Amy Jones' confidence for her leadership skills.

Edwards faces a selection dilemma after Alice Capsey's 74 not out off 51 deliveries against New Zealand thrust her into opening contention. Danni Wyatt-Hodge will return from parental leave during the India series, creating competition with Heather Knight and Sophia Dunkley for spots.

India arrive in Chelmsford on Thursday for the first of three T20 matches, having defeated England 3-2 last summer. Dean believes England can beat anyone on their day, but must execute consistently to handle the pressure of hosting the World Cup starting June 12.
