England Womens Title Hopes Take a Hit Following Injury Setback
The England Women's team has suffered an injury setback in the middle of the T20 World Cup. Just after playing two games, their skipper, Nat Scriver-Brunt has suffered with a calf strain. She has been ruled out for the next two games of the tournament.
England Women had the perfect start to the T20 World Cup, being the hosts of the tournament. But their plans to be a top contender in this tournament has been hit with a major injury issue, which is linked to their skipper. Nat Scriver-Brunt suffered an injury right after the team’s match against Ireland Women.
She was seen struggling on the field, as questions rose on her participation in the games set to take place later. But now, the England Cricket Board has released a statement on her participation in the tournament. It has been confirmed that she suffered with a calf strain in the tournament, and has been ruled out of the next two games.
This also means that the England Women's team will have to go through a forced change in the next two games. In place of Nat Scriver-Brunt, Charlie Dean (vice captain) will be leading the side, as they aim for more wins to easily advance to the semi-final stages of the tournament.
Our Take
This is a major setback for England Women, as Nat Scriver-Brunt will be unavailable for the next two games. She was able to contribute for the team with both bat and ball, but now it seems challenging for them to find a player who could replace her at the finest. Moreover, the next two games will be crucial for the team to determine whether they will be able to make it to the semi-final stages of the tournament or not.
