England captain Nat Sciver-Brunt to miss T20 World Cup matches after injury setback

  • England captain Nat Sciver-Brunt has been ruled out of her side’s next two T20 World Cup matches due to a calf strain sustained during the victory over Ireland on Tuesday.
  • Sciver-Brunt, who retired hurt on 48 against Ireland, will miss the upcoming group games against Scotland and the West Indies.
  • She will remain with the squad, with the hope of returning for England's final group match against New Zealand, and potentially the semi-finals and final should the team qualify.
  • Charlie Dean, who previously captained the team in Sciver-Brunt's absence, will lead England for the upcoming fixtures.
  • Sciver-Brunt's injury creates a significant gap in England's batting order, particularly at number three, with Sophia Dunkley expected to be brought into the starting XI.
