Through the Ashes sequence of 2023, Wong featured prominently in England’s promoting campaigns however ultimately didn’t play a single sport as she struggled for consistency.
A tough Hundred competitors with Birmingham Phoenix adopted the place she was dropped from their facet due to points along with her run-up.
She then surprisingly made her one England look of that yr in opposition to Sri Lanka, and conceded 24 runs from two overs with three entrance foot no-balls.
Wong will play for Warwickshire in 2025 as a part of the brand new skilled home set-up, the place Robinson coaches the lads’s facet.
“Issy is doing very well and dealing onerous – she’s nonetheless younger at 22 and he or she’s fast, so her time will come once more,” Robinson added.
“That is one thing to be taught – the right way to deal with gamers once we expose them and when to take them out, when to guard them.
