CRIK:Captain fit to lead England at Women's T20 World Cup

England World Cup Nat SciverBrunt

England captain Nat Sciver-Brunt has been declared fit for this month's Women's T20 World Cup after completing her recovery from a calf tear.

Sciver-Brunt sat out the recent series against New Zealand and India because of the injury to her left leg, including Tuesday night's impressive six-wicket victory over India in Taunton.

But the 33-year-old will lead England into their World Cup opener against Sri Lanka on June 12.

"Nat's fine and ready to go. It's really good for us that she's coming back into the team and is hitting the ball well,'' England coach Charlotte Edwards told Sky Sports:.

"She probably won't bowl, but her batting is something that she's best in the world at.

"She wants to bat at number three. She has done well in global franchises there and that's where she wants to be. It's important she bats where she wants."
