England women’s cricket captain Nat Sciver-Brunt says she hopes to add her name to the list of England captains who have won a World Cup at home, as the country prepares to host the ICC Women’s Cricket World Cup.
Reflecting on England’s triumph at the 2017 Women’s Cricket World Cup, Sciver-Brunt described the tournament as a memorable achievement built on hard work, teamwork, and perseverance. She said the squad remained focused throughout the competition and overcame several challenges on their way to lifting the trophy.
The England captain acknowledged the expectation that comes with hosting a World Cup but emphasized the importance of staying focused on performances on the field rather than records and statistics.
Sciver-Brunt also highlighted the emergence of young talent within the national team, praising recent debutant Tilly Corteen-Coleman and noting the positive impact of returning players such as Linsey Smith and Dani Gibson.
She said the team has undergone significant changes over the past year but remains confident in its ability to compete for the title. According to Sciver-Brunt, England’s players have worked hard to prepare for the tournament and are determined to make the most of the opportunity to perform in front of home supporters.
England won the ICC Women’s Cricket World Cup on home soil in 2017, defeating India in the final at Lord’s. The upcoming tournament will mark another opportunity for England to compete for the world title in front of home crowds.
