Wikipedia - Charlotte Edwards Cup
The Charlotte Edwards Cup, initially named the Women's Regional T20, was an English women's cricket Twenty20 domestic competition organised by the England and Wales Cricket Board. The first edition of the tournament took place in 2021. The tournament was named after England's former captain and most capped player, Charlotte Edwards.
The tournament featured eight teams, representing regional hubs across England and Wales. The tournament was a successor to the Women's Cricket Super League, which ended in 2019. Whilst a regional T20 tournament was planned for 2020, it was cancelled in favour of the 50-over Rachael Heyhoe Flint Trophy in the shortened 2020 season due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The tournament then ran alongside the Rachael Heyhoe Flint Trophy and The Hundred.
History
With the ending of the Women's Cricket Super League in 2019, the England and Wales Cricket Board intended to launch a new regional structure for domestic women's cricket in England and Wales, including a 50-over competition, a Twenty20 competition and The Hundred. However, as the COVID-19 pandemic shortened the 2020 season, only the 50-over Rachael Heyhoe Flint Trophy was able to go ahead that season, with six new teams competing, plus Western Storm and Southern Vipers carried over from the WCSL, representing regional hubs.
In 2021, with a return to a full schedule, it was announced in February that the new Twenty20 competition would be called the Women's Regional T20, to run alongside the Rachael Heyhoe Flint Trophy and to be competed for by the same teams. Two days before the tournament began, it was renamed the Charlotte Edwards Cup, with the first edition of the tournament getting underway on 26 June, eventually being won by South East Stars. The second edition of the tournament was won by Southern Vipers, who beat Central Sparks in the final. Vipers retained their title in 2023, beating The Blaze in the final by 7 wickets. The Blaze won the title the following year, defeating South East Stars in the final after topping the group stage. This was the last edition of the competition as the ECB announced it would be replaced by a new T20 Blast as part of a restructuring of women's domestic cricket in England and Wales.
Teams from all over Great Britain participate in the Charlotte Edwards Cup, showcasing their skills and talent in front of enthusiastic fans and supporters. The tournament provides a platform for female cricketers to demonstrate their abilities and compete at a high level, promoting the growth and development of women's cricket in the country.
The Charlotte Edwards Cup is known for its competitive spirit, thrilling matches, and exciting moments that captivate cricket fans across the nation. It is a celebration of the sport and a testament to the dedication and hard work of the players who participate in the tournament.
Overall, the Charlotte Edwards Cup is a highly anticipated event in the Great Britain cricket calendar, bringing together the best female cricketers in the country for a showcase of talent, teamwork, and sportsmanship.
