England women's captain Charlotte Edwards admitted to feeling "really chuffed" after being honoured with an MBE for services to sport.

"It's a huge honour and after the amazing year I have had, this has topped it off perfectly," she said.

The 29-year-old from Huntingdon led England to victory over New Zealand in the Women's World Cup final in March.

And the team hopes to pick up a second trophy later this month in the ICC World Twenty20 tournament.
