Charlotte Edwards Cup (CE Cup) came into existence during the 2021-22 season as the premier T20 competition between eight centres of excellence. The concept was the same as Rachael Heyhoe Flint Trophy (RHF Trophy) and the inaugural edition saw South East Stars being crowned as the champions beating Northern Diamonds in the final.



The second edition of the tournament is all set to start on May 14 in the same format with teams being divided into two groups. The groups are tweaked a little bit this time with Central Sparks, South East Stars, Sunrisers, Western Storm listed in Group A and Lightning, Northern Diamonds, Thunder, Southern Vipers in the Group B.



All the teams will play each other in home and away fixtures and the best group winner will directly progress to the final that will be played on the Finals Day on June 11 in Northampton.  The semi-final will be first played on the same day between the other group winner and the best second-placed side and the winner of this match will progress to the final.



As the teams prepare to take part in the action, Women’s CricZone takes a look at all the eight teams.
