England will not enforce social media ban at Women's T20 World Cup
Summary

England captain Nat Sciver-Brunt announced that the team will not impose a social media ban during the Women's T20 World Cup, starting June 12. This decision reflects changes in the social media since the 2017 World Cup, where a ban was in effect. Sciver-Brunt indicated that players, especially younger ones, view social media as integral to their lives and careers. The England and Wales Cricket Board will provide tools for players to manage their social media presence. Sciver-Brunt is expected to play as a specialist batter in the tournament following recovery from an injury, previously participating in warm-up matches against India and Australia.
