All-rounder Nat Sciver-Brunt has been appointed as the new captain of the England women's cricket team, succeeding Heather Knight, according to channelnewsasia and Reuters. This change follows Knight's departure after a disappointing 16-0 whitewash against Australia in the Ashes series last month.

Sciver-Brunt, who made her international debut in 2023 and served as vice-captain for the past three years, holds an impressive record. She is ranked number three in the ICC one-day international (ODI) batting rankings and has played 259 matches for England, scoring 11 centuries and capturing 181 wickets, as reported by Dawn.
