Sciver-Brunt, who retired hurt on 48 against Ireland, will miss the upcoming group games against Scotland and the West Indies. She will remain with the squad, with the hope of returning for England's final group match against New Zealand, and potentially the semi-finals and final should the team qualify. Charlie Dean, who previously captained the team in Sciver-Brunt's absence, will lead England for the upcoming fixtures. Sciver-Brunt's injury creates a significant gap in England's batting order, particularly at number three, with Sophia Dunkley expected to be brought into the starting XI.
