Nat Sciver-Brunt named as new England Women’s Captain

London, Apr 29 (UNI) England’s star all-rounder Nat Sciver-Brunt has been appointed captain of the national women’s team, the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) announced in a media release on Tuesday.
Sciver-Brunt succeeds Heather Knight, who left her role following England’s 2025 Women’s Ashes series after a near nine-year tenure and will lead in all three formats working alongside recently appointed head coach Charlotte Edwards.
The 32-year-old has been an integral part of England’s set-up since making her debut in 2013 and is widely regarded as one of the world’s most gifted cricketers.
