WP:COMMONNAME

The team is commonly called 'England', not 'England and Wales', eg. in media reports, eg The Guardian. WP:VERIFY is an official policy here at Wikipedia. Mais oui! (talk) 19:10, 15 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

It is the England and Wales Cricket Board per its own website [1]. The infobox should provide the accurate name, not the common name especially as there is no Wales women's cricket team. The men's team also has England and Wales in the infobox. Tim! (talk) 19:17, 15 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

In that case you must initiate a WP:MOVE discussion to rename the entire article, if you sincerely believe it to be misnamed. There is no point in the article title calling the team one thing but the infobox calling them something different different. Mais oui! (talk) 19:30, 15 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I am sorry I cannot engage with you when you resort to weak rhetoric. Tim! (talk) 19:33, 15 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

So, you think it is appropriate to "engage" with me by depositing threats on my Talk page, and employing rude, inaccurate Edit summaries, but when I drag you to a Talk page and point out elementary Wikipedia policy and principles you walk off in a wee huff. Can't say I'm remotely surprised. Mais oui! (talk) 19:53, 15 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

England women's cricket team → England women's national cricket team – This is not just any cricket team it’s the England women’s national cricket team and the word national should be added into the title. MOTORAL1987 (talk) 14:22, 27 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose per the reasons at this related discussion. Lugnuts ^{Fire Walk with Me} 17:27, 27 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - You might want to correct "womens’s" to "women's" in your suggestion. The plural "s" and the apostrophe are off. Paintspot Infez (talk) 18:10, 27 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
- Thanks, you fixed it! Paintspot Infez (talk) 23:05, 28 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose for same reason at the men's team RM. Joseph2302 (talk) 18:34, 27 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose - it represents England and Wales, not just England, so this is one of the cases where a "national" side can't have the word national in it. Didn't we have this recently? Blue Square Thing (talk) 20:32, 27 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose: as everyone else has already stated, the team is run by the England and Wales Cricket Board and represents Wales as well as England. Richard3120 (talk) 21:08, 27 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Support - per England women's national football team, England women's national rugby union team and Scotland women's national cricket team. – Pee Jay 14:46, 28 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose: It is not a 'national' team as it represents more than one national. To use 'international' would clearly be inappropriate. Status quo is fine. Harrias ^talk 20:01, 31 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. Team represents both England and Wales. I wonder if the Scotland national women's cricket team should be the Scotland women's cricket team as Scotland is not sovereign? StickyWicket (talk) 21:24, 31 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
- A nation doesn't have to be sovereign for it to have a national team. – Pee Jay 07:49, 1 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Support For the same reasons I have just explained and posted in the discussion in the men’s article. There is clear hypocrisy at work here and common sense is needed. (5.69.135.61 (talk) 13:19, 1 April 2019 (UTC))[reply]

Current squad

A couple of points/queries re. the Current squad section:

1. Should the 'domestic team' section now have the regional (RHFT + CEC) team rather than the county team? This is now what is referenced in squad announcements.

2. Just wondering if there were any official guidance on what players actually get included - the 2020 Covid squad now seems a bit out of date, and players like Emma Lamb, Linsey Smith and Alice Davidson-Richards aren't really near the side anymore. On the flipside, obviously Emily Arlott has been in squads recently (without making her debut). So just seeing if this needs to updated now, and what the parameters are for picking who gets to be on the page.

Thanks, Mpk662 (talk) 08:38, 4 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, makes sense to use the RHFT/CEC teams (I assume everyone plays for the same team in both competitions?), as they're the main domestic teams in England. And usually we keep people who've played in the last 12ish months. For people like Lamb who've never played for England, they're definitely not in the current squad.
