Nat Sciver-Brunt named England women’s captain
Nat Sciver-Brunt has been appointed as the new captain of the England women’s team. She takes over from Heather Knight, who stepped down from captaincy following England’s disastrous Ashes campaign in Australia. Brunt has led England in Knight's absence previously as well.
She has represented England 259 times across formats since making her debut in 2013. She has represented England in 12 Tests, 115 ODIs, and 132 T20Is.
“I'm really proud to take on the role of captain of the England Women's team, and it's an honour to have been asked by Charlotte, someone I’ve always looked up to. Ever since I made my England debut back in 2013, all I have wanted to do is help the team in every way that I can. I will try my best to lead this team to success, whilst empowering them to be the best version of themselves,” Sciver-Brunt said on her appointment.
"We have a really talented group, and we have a group that's united. It's a team I believe in and a team that can have a lot of success together. It's hugely exciting to be working with Charlotte having had the pleasure of working with her in the last three years at Mumbai Indians. Her love of cricket and passion for the England Women’s team is inspiring and I’m excited to see where this partnership leads us,” she added.
England will kick off their home summer with a white-ball series against the West Indies.
