On the back of their heartbreaking exit from the T20 World Cup due to rain, England captain Heather Knight wishes for the ICC to have reserve days for semi-finals going forward, Cricbuzz reports. 

"They're the rules that everyone signed up to," Knight said. "You'd hope now that there has been this situation and the game tonight is potentially going to be rained off as well, so you'd hope now there is going to be a rule change and moving forward, no other team will have to experience going out of a World Cup purely because of rain. Hopefully, it changes."

"It's gutting. You put in a lot of hard work. There's not a lot we can do about it... we're just going to have to rue that first game and try to move on but it's going to be a bitter pill to swallow for a few of us now."

As hard as it's going to be for England to move on from this, Knight is still looking forward to a landmark finale to what has been a 'brilliant tournament'.

"It's sad for the tournament. You've got four really good teams competing, hoping to play some really good cricket. That's taken away from us but I'm sure the final will be a great event. It'll be a great day and game for the sport. I'll be there as a fan. It has been a brilliant tournament, which has made it even more of a shame that we lost today.

"Today is disappointing but it won't take too much shine off where the sport has gone and you see if the money is put into publicising it that people do want to come and watch."
