Sarah Taylor confirms that she is likely to play men's cricket for Sussex during the summer.

England wicketkeeper Sarah Taylor has revealed that she is in talks to play men's cricket this summer.

The 23-year-old, who is regarded by many to be one of the best players in the women's game, currently plays her county cricket for Sussex.

However, following some discussions with coach Mark Lane, Taylor has admitted that there is a chance that she could turn out for Sussex men's second XI if required over the coming months.

"Part of me knows it would be phenomenal, but there's part of me doubting myself. I've just got to start believing in myself a little bit more," she told The Guardian. "But I would love to do it. It would be such a challenge. Facing a bigger ball and bigger bowlers. But I'd have to look at myself after the second XI games and say: 'Can you handle this?

"Mark is looking at me getting some games with the second XI at Sussex and that will be just phenomenal cricket.

"The plan is also for me to play some early season games for the MCC boys. Mark is trying to get me a lot of men's cricket which can only help my game."

On Thursday, Taylor will be part of the England women's squad that will travel to India to defend their 50-over World Cup.
