London: Nat Sciver-Brunt has been named the new captain of the England women’s team. She succeeds Heather Knight, who left her role following England’s 2025 women’s Ashes series after a near nine-year tenure.

She will lead in all three formats working alongside recently appointed head coach Charlotte Edwards.

“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 said. The 32-year-old has been an integral part of England’s set-up since making her debut in 2013 and is widely regarded as one of the world’s most gifted cricketers.

Sciver-Brunt has a notable collection of awards, including winning the ICC Women’s Cricketer of the Year for 2022 and 2023. She was also named PCA Women’s Player of the Year in 2017 and 2022 and been a part of the ICC Women’s ODI and T20 Teams of the Year in 2023.
