Wyatt has featured in 77 matches for England and has scored 1046 runs at an average of 19.01. She has also taken 27 wickets with the ball in ODI cricket as well.

India Women and England Women played an excellent one-off Test match

India Women and England Women were involved in a spine-tingling one-off Test match at Bristol. The match had several twists and turns, and in the end resulted in a pulsating draw, as the Indian Women survived as many as 121 overs in their second innings. For England, the star performers with the willow were skipper Heather Knight and Sophia Dunkley. While Knight scored a flawless 95, Dunkley helped herself to an unbeaten 74.

Shafali Verma announced her arrival in the longest format of the game in style and scored half-centuries in both innings for the Indian side. Sophie Ecclestone sizzled with the ball in hand for England. She scalped a total of 8 wickets in the match and constantly put the Indian side under pressure.
