The Women's Regional T20 Competition has been named the Charlotte Edwards Cup.
The competition, which kicks off this weekend, sees the eight women's regional teams go head to head in T20 cricket.
Charlotte Edwards CBE is England Women's most-capped player. Captain of her country from 2006-2016, she led the team to three Ashes wins, an ICC Women's World Cup and an ICC Women's T20 World Cup.

Conway has made an instant impact in international cricket with a double century on Test debut for New Zealand at Lord’s last week. He is averaging 59 in T20Is and 75 in ODIs since making his international bow for the Black Caps last year.
