England women's captain Charlotte Edwards is confident of retaining the World Cup even though the side have struggled on the subcontinent in the past.

England begin their defence against Sri Lanka on Friday and she said: "A lot of us have experienced the conditions before and we have learned a lot from previous tours."

Graeme Smith will become the first player to captain his side in 100 Tests when he leads South Africa against Pakistan.
