England Skipper Nat Sciver-Brunt Ruled Out Of NZ And India Series Ahead Of Women's T20 World Cup
The England all-rounder had already been ruled out of the recent ODI series against the New Zealand women's national cricket team after sustaining what was initially described as a minor tear in her left calf while representing The Blaze in domestic cricket at the end of April. However, fresh scans conducted earlier this week revealed that the injury requires an extended rehabilitation period, forcing England to proceed without one of their most influential players during a crucial stretch of World Cup preparation.
Sciver-Brunt will now miss six T20 internationals, three against New Zealand and three against India, leaving her with very limited match practice ahead of the global tournament, which begins next month on home soil. England are still hopeful that the 33-year-old will recover in time for their World Cup opener against Sri Lanka at Edgbaston on June 12, but concerns remain over her lack of competitive cricket.
