With the 2026 Women's T20 World Cup getting underway this week, Katya looks back on the last time England hosted the tournament in 2009, a tournament they won.

Whilst England's 2017 World Cup win is often attributed as being a momentous moment for the women's game in the UK, the 2009 T20 World Cup laid the foundations for what was to come.

On-field heroes Claire Taylor and Lydia Greenway, as well as coach England Mark Lane and journalist Raf Nicholson, speak to a different sporting landscape, and a tournament that set the ball rolling for the success of the women's game.
