Didn't Want To Risk Ecclestone Before Huge Game, Says Sciver-Brunt
ODI World Cup: England captain Nat Sciver-Brunt said the team opted not to risk Sophie Ecclestone’s fitness during their eight-wicket win in the final group stage match against New Zealand at the Women's World Cup, citing a crucial semi-final coming up against South Africa in Guwahati on October 29.
At the ACA-VDCA Stadium on Sunday, Sophie jarred her left shoulder early in the game, and bowled just four deliveries, including getting the wicket of Brooke Halliday, before leaving the field and not bowling for the rest of the innings.
"I don't know anything further but it was definitely precautionary. We've got a huge match coming up against South Africa so we wouldn't want to risk anything now. We'll know more in a few days," said Nat in the post-match presentation ceremony.
