England have announced Nat Sciver-Brunt as the new captain of their senior women's team across formats.
Sciver-Brunt replaces former captain Heather Knight, whose nine-year stint came to an end following the 2025 Women's Ashes defeat, after which she left her role.
Sciver-Brunt, who has already filled in as captain of the senior England women's team 11 times in T20Is and once in ODIs, will take up the role across formats. The 32-year-old steps into the role with a wealth of experience, having played 132 T20Is, 115 ODIs, and 12 Test matches. She has more than 7,000 runs in international cricket across formats to go with 181 wickets.
She will link up with Charlotte Edwards, who was recently appointed as the head coach of the women's team, taking over from Jon Lewis.
