England Women have provided a fresh update on injured captain Nat Sciver-Brunt after securing a place in the semi-finals of the ICC Women's T20 World Cup 2026. The team issued the statement following their convincing 38-run victory over West Indies Women at Lord's.
England Women will next face New Zealand Women in their final Group B match at The Oval on Saturday, June 27. The home team became the first team to officially qualify for the semi-finals and will now aim to finish the group stage unbeaten by securing top spot with another victory.
England Women confirmed that captain Nat Sciver-Brunt is recovering well but will miss the team's final group-stage match against New Zealand. The all-rounder has been sidelined with a calf injury and also missed England's victory over West Indies at Lord's.
The team revealed that Sciver-Brunt underwent an MRI scan on Wednesday, which showed encouraging progress. She also resumed batting in the nets, but the medical staff decided she needs more rehabilitation before returning to match action.
"England Women can confirm that Nat Sciver-Brunt had an MRI scan on Wednesday and it showed she is making good progress. Nat also batted in the nets on Wednesday."
"While her calf is responding well to treatment, the England medical team feel that she needs a little more time for rehabilitation before being available for selection so will miss the group match against New Zealand."
Nat Sciver-Brunt Suffers Second Calf Injury of the Season
Nat Sciver-Brunt felt discomfort in her left calf while batting against Ireland during England's group-stage match. The England captain retired hurt on an unbeaten 48 after experiencing tightness, with her side needing only nine more runs to complete the chase.
Scans later confirmed the calf injury, ruling the 33-year-old out of England's next matches. To manage her workload, the team had already limited her bowling duties during the tournament while relying on her batting.
The injury is the second calf problem Sciver-Brunt has suffered this season. She previously sustained a minor tear during domestic cricket on April 29, which forced her to miss England's white-ball series against New Zealand and India.
Before the latest setback, Sciver-Brunt had enjoyed an impressive World Cup campaign with the bat. She scored an unbeaten 46 against Sri Lanka before following it with another unbeaten knock of 48 against Ireland.
England Maintain Unbeaten Run With Dominant Group Stage Campaign
England became the first team to qualify for the semi-finals of the ICC Women's T20 World Cup 2026. They sealed their place in the last four after defending 186/7 against West Indies Women and registering a convincing 38-run victory at Lord's.
England also produced the highest team total in Women's T20 World Cup history during their win over Sri Lanka. They posted 219/1, with opener Danni Wyatt-Hodge scoring an unbeaten 105 off 62 balls to lead the dominant batting display.
England's bowlers have also impressed throughout the tournament. Freya Kemp starred with figures of 4/22 against Sri Lanka, while Charlie Dean delivered a crucial wicket-maiden against Ireland to help England maintain their unbeaten record.
