Why World Cup winner Muir picked rugby over cricket

Delivering for your nation at a World Cup brings heightened pressure, and doing so at a home tournament takes the expectation up to a whole new level.

Red Roses prop Maud Muir did just that last September, winning a home Rugby World Cup with England in front of a record women's rugby crowd of 81,885.

England cricket all-rounder Freya Kemp, who is gearing up for this summer's home T20 World Cup, was keen to ask for advice - much to Muir's surprise.

When asked via a video message what her best piece of advice would be, the prop replied: "Embrace it. Embrace having so many home fans, and be able to have an escape. You are so familiar with where you are that you can go home and relax a bit more."
