England Women’s team captain Nat Sciver-Brunt has reportedly been ruled out of the remaining T20I matches against the India women in the India Women tour of England 2025.

Nat Sciver-Brunt performances in India Women Tour of England 2025 series
Nat Sciver-Brunt, a key all-rounder for England, has been ruled out of the remaining two matches of the five-match T20I series against India due to a left-groin injury, with England trailing 2-1. Sciver-Brunt captained England in the first two games, which India won convincingly by 97 runs, powered by Smriti Mandhana’s century, and by 24 runs, driven by half-centuries from Jemimah Rodrigues and Amanjot Kaur. Prior to the series, the team management decided Sciver-Brunt would not bowl to manage her workload, limiting her to batting and leadership duties.
In the first T20I, she delivered a standout performance, scoring a 42-ball 66, the highlight of England’s otherwise lackluster 113 all out. However, in the second game, she managed only 13 runs before sustaining the injury that sidelined her for the third T20I, which England won under Tammy Beaumont’s captaincy. Subsequent scans confirmed the injury’s severity, ruling her out of the fourth and fifth T20Is in Manchester and Birmingham. The ECB remains optimistic about her recovery for the subsequent three-match ODI series.
How will her absence impact the Series for England?
Sciver-Brunt’s absence is a significant blow to England, given her leadership and batting prowess. Missing the chance to influence the series’ outcome could dent her confidence, especially after her impactful 66. However, the enforced rest may aid her long-term fitness, preserving her all-round capabilities for the ODIs. Maia Bouchier’s inclusion and Beaumont’s continued leadership provide England with options, but Sciver-Brunt’s experience and versatility will be missed as they aim to level or win the series.
