International Vice-Captain
Sarah Taylor taking a break from the game as well.
Don't really know enough about the Edwards situation but I'll offer an opinion. I would say though that whilst she was England's best batsman even in recent times, England have never really got close to winning a international tournament in recent times iirc. Given the resources at their disposal realistically England should be doing better than they are. That's not her fault but if Robinson has decided that they're not going to win a tournament in the next couple of years (which is a fair assesment given the last few years) it's possibly better off that they blood new talent and let that come through - rather than delaying the inevitable for a couple of years (before Edwards retirement) with no real hope of winning a tournament anyway.
