England captain Nat Sciver-Brunt will miss at least the next two matches of the T20 World Cup due to a left calf injury sustained during the win over Ireland. Sciver-Brunt had retired hurt on 48 not out, and scans confirmed a strain in the same muscle that previously sidelined her earlier this summer. She will not play against Scotland on June 17 and West Indies on June 21, although there is hope she may return for the final group game. Charlie Dean will captain the team in her absence, having previously led during her injury earlier in the season. England is currently at the top of Group 2, needing two wins from the remaining matches to secure a semi-final spot.
