Nat Sciver-Brunt to lead England’s ODI World Cup squad
For the first time in an ICC event, Nat SPE-Brunt will captain the side, having been appointed all-format skipper earlier this year. Ranked as the No.1 ODI batter in the world, she combines leadership with match-winning ability and will be at the heart of England’s challenge.
England have been boosted by the return of some key names. Heather Knightthe former captain, is back after recovering from a hamstring tendon injury that kept her out of action for months. Spinner Sarah Glenn and experienced batter Danni Wyatt-Hodgewho missed the India series, also make their way back. Glenn is one of six players set for their maiden ODI World Cup, adding both variety and freshness to the side.
Alongside the returnees, England retain their experienced backbone with Tammy Beaumont, Amy Jones, Sophia Dunkley, Charlie Dean and Linsey Smith continuing in the setup. Their proven reliability gives the squad a strong balance of stability and flair. England’s blend of seasoned performers and exciting debutants positions them as serious contenders.
