Charlotte Edwards is, quite simply, cricket royalty — and yes, that's even what it says on Wikipedia.

Twenty-three years. 309 ODIs. A captain who didn't just lead England Women — she helped drag the entire sport into the light.

But before all of that, she was a girl on a potato farm in Huntingdon, the only female face in a boys' team, walking out to the crease every weekend knowing half the crowd didn't want her there.

In this episode, Charlotte talks about growing up in a sport that wasn't built for her, the revolution that's transformed women's cricket — and the foundation she's set up to make sure the next generation never has to fight the same battles she did.
