All-rounder identified to replace Heather KnightSciver-Brunt is on maternity leave after birth of son
Nat Sciver-Brunt is being lined up as the next England captain by the new coach, Charlotte Edwards. The Surrey all-rounder has been identified as the outstanding candidate to replace Heather Knight, who stepped down last month after England’s Ashes whitewash in Australia.
Sciver-Brunt is on maternity leave after the birth of her son this month to her wife and the former England seamer Katherine Brunt, and formal discussions will take place when she returns to training. The 32-year-old‘s only concern is the potential effect on her role in all three formats, but Edwards is thought to be willing to manage her workload.
