England captain Nat Sciver-Brunt sustains a left calf injury during England’s Women’s T20 World Cup match against Ireland on Tuesday and is subsequently ruled out of England’s next two group-stage matches, according to Sky Sports and BBC Sport. The injury setback is reported to have occurred during the Ireland game, where Sciver-Brunt retires hurt late in the innings, with England still winning by four wickets and maintaining an early winning record in the tournament. Other coverage frames the fitness concern as significant for England’s title prospects, while Wisden discusses the question of how England might replace her if she remains unavailable. After the initial ruling-out period, BBC Sport and Yahoo Sports report that Sciver-Brunt is passed fit to return for England’s Thursday semi-final against South Africa. The Independent also notes that she misses the conclusion of the group stage due to the calf issue, but later reporting indicates she is available for the semi-final.
