DELAWARE ( KYW ) -- A Delaware woman is making history as part of the blind U.S. team competing in the first-ever Women's T20 Cricket World Cup for the Blind.

Britt, who lives in Smyrna, is getting ready to compete in the first-ever Women's T20 Cricket World Cup.

"I didn't think I was going to make the team," Britt said. "I was just going to try something new, and I wound up being decent at it."
