Nat Sciver-Brunt has been appointed as the new captain of the England Women’s team, succeeding Heather Knight after the 2025 Women’s Ashes series. The experienced all-rounder will lead across all the formats with the newly appointed head coach Charlotte Edwards.
Sciver-Brunt has been a key figure in the England team since her debut in 2013. With the 259 international matches, 181 wickets and an ODI batting average of 45.91, she is regarded as one of the best all-rounders in the modern game. She was also the vice captain and stand-in skipper during the Commonwealth Games in 2022.
“I will try my best to lead this team to success” – Nat Sciver-Brunt
Expressing her pride, Sciver-Brunt said, “I’m really proud to take on the role of captain of the England Women’s team, and it’s an honour to have been asked by Charlotte, someone I’ve always looked up to. Ever since I made my England debut back in 2013, all I have wanted to do is help the team in every way that I can. I will try my best to lead this team to success, whilst empowering them to be the best version of themselves.”
She further added, “We have a really talented group, and we have a group that’s united. It’s a team I believe in and a team that can have a lot of success together.”
Clare Connor, Managing Director of England Women’s Cricket, said, “Everyone knows what a fantastic cricketer Nat is, but her qualities extend far beyond her skills on the pitch. She’s thoughtful, resilient and driven by getting the best out of herself and everyone around her. Nat is immensely well-respected in the group and I know she will form an exciting and fruitful partnership with Charlotte.”
England Women are starting their summer campaign on 21 May with a home series against the West Indies, followed by matches against India.
