A quick chat with the debutant – Mady Villiers says she didn’t quite see it as an opportunity coming her way from feeling picked in the Test squad. She explains that after being brought into the side quite young and then spending several years outside the set-up, the call feels like a real win for her personally. She adds that she was over the moon when the news broke and was delighted with how things turned out. Seeing her performances in the Championship recognised, she notes that a few years ago a lot of players played hard yards in domestic cricket without being rewarded for it, but that is now starting to change. He says it feels good to finally see such recognition come through. On the move to Durham, Villiers says the region quickly began to feel like home, praising not only the cricket but the whole character of the North East. She admits she never imagined leaving Essex, given that her entire family is based there and she has played cricket in the county all her life. At the wicket, Harmanpreet Kaur says she hasn’t even looked at repeating the delivery yet, calling it a dream ball for an off-spinner, especially one who used the slope. She adds that on opening day, you don’t expect the course to offer that much turnover, so getting that breakthrough was like a dream moment for her.
