ICC Women's World Cup 2017: Team of the tournament

The Playing XI

Heather Knight is unlucky to not find a place in the WWC XI

The team of the tournament features three players each from finalists India and England, two apiece from losing semi-finalists South Africa and Australia and a sole member from New Zealand.

This team also has three captains in it and Mithali will lead the side ahead of the other three, thanks to her brilliant captaincy throughout the tournament.

Knight, on the other hand, did a fantastic job for England and was unlucky to miss out on getting into the playing XI and has been given the role of the 12th woman. Heather has scored 364 runs in nine innings at an average of 46 and a strike-rate of 81.

The Mithali Raj-led team has eight reliable batters and seven bowlers to bowl the 50 overs, a luxury that a captain always longs for.
