With a faint, wry smile, Nat Sciver-Brunt rolls her eyes: "No pressure for me."
She is sitting in a featureless changing-room at Edgbaston where, in 100 days' time, England will seek to maintain their 100 percent record as winning World Cup hosts.
They are also aiming to follow their football and rugby-playing counterparts in lifting the trophy at a major tournament, after England's victories in 2025 at the Women's Euros, where they defended the title they'd won at Wembley in 2022, and the Women's Rugby World Cup at Twickenham.
Sciver-Brunt is one of three currently contracted players who remain from the side that defeated India in the final of the 50-over World Cup in 2017, along with Tammy Beaumont and Heather Knight, her predecessor as captain. After victories in the inaugural event in 1973, and again in 1993, that had been the third time they'd hosted the event and won, and in 2009 England emulated that achievement at the 2009 World T20 as well.
"Being a fan of both of those events, the Euros and the World Cup for the Red Roses, as a fan I was captured by what they were doing," Sciver-Brunt says. "Yes, they both went on to win and obviously that helps, but I think creating that chance to build a new fan-base is also a brilliant opportunity.
"The World Cups that we have hosted in England, we've won, so no pressure for me. But what a chance we have to grow the game in England. As players experience that home crowd feeling and the energy that that gives, it's just going to be a really, really special time."
Knight will be a key to Sciver-Brunt's fact-finding, as she learns how to do this one as team leader, having taken over the job in the wake of England's winless tour of Australia a year ago.
"Heather had the chance to lift that trophy at Lord's," Sciver-Brunt adds. "That was really early on in her captaincy career as well, so I've certainly been drawing on her experience… I was obviously part of that team, but what made that so special from the captain's point of view and how she dealt with all that. That will be one of my first phone calls, or coffees, whenever it is that we get together."
Sciver-Brunt was expecting to be reunited with her team as part of a wider 30-player group at a training camp in Abu Dhabi this week, but those plans are being hastily rearranged due to the conflict in the region that has included missile strikes on the UAE.
The ECB have said they are looking into alternative arrangements, and a camp in South Africa could be a feasible option, even though the country is also hosting bilateral series.
Sciver-Brunt is also aware that a number of county teams have already booked pre-season trips there. Surely she could pull rank as England captain? Not her style.
But she has settled into the captaincy since her appointment, a period which included a scrappy run to the semi-finals of the 50-over World Cup, ultimately won by India, who were co-hosts with Sri Lanka.
"The varying conditions that we faced, not necessarily with the wickets, but the preparation that we have before each game, it can be so different," Sciver-Brunt says. "You could turn up and, as a batter, you want a really good net, to feel really good, but then the surface isn't conducive to that.
"I learned that a few years ago as a batter but, as a leader, that's then getting around everyone and making sure that they're not putting too much pressure on this one moment that might make them feel really good for the next game, or trying to help them to trust themselves and trust the practice that they have done, and trying to insert that confidence in everyone."
England have played no cricket together for four months, with many scattering to franchises in the WPL and WBBL. In the meantime, their cancelled intra-squad matches in Abu Dhabi had been their only chance to convene ahead of the home international summer, which puts an onus on their rearrangement.
"If I was a player in the Academy, and you get a chance to go to something like that, that would be massive in terms of where you think you might go in your career, or what expectations you have for yourself," Sciver-Brunt says. "So as a youngster, I would have been really, really excited about that.
"As a captain, I think that's an amazing opportunity for anyone to put their hand up. There'd be 30 players going and anyone could show something that you think, 'oh, we haven't seen that before', or, 'that person's really willing to try this'. To really learn from that as a group would be an amazing chance before the World Cup."
In the lead-up to the tournament - which culminates at Lord's on July 5 - England will host New Zealand, the reigning T20 world champions, then India, before beginning their campaign against Sri Lanka at Edgbaston on June 12. Sciver-Brunt reflects on how far she and her side had come over the past 12 months.
"I've learned a lot and I've got more to learn," she says. "As a group, we've moved on quite a lot from where we were and hopefully we can make some strides before we start that World Cup as well.
"There's been a lot more ownership on what you're doing and where you want to go. The openness that we have as a group and honesty in reviews, that was something I really saw a change in our team with. Hopefully we can take that a step further and just be more comfortable being uncomfortable with it, with each other."
