Nat Sciver-Brunt has been appointed captain of the England women’s cricket team. The England and Wales Cricket Board said Tuesday that Sciver-Brunt will replace Heather Knight, who stepped down after nine years in March as part of an overhaul following poor results.

Nat Sciver-Brunt has the chance to paint a 'back in business' sign on the England Women's team HQ, as opposed to occasionally flipping the hastily scribbled 'back soon' note with which she has had to work in her previous appearances as captain.

The 32-year-old all-rounder was the heartbeat of the team throughout Heather Knight’s nine-year stint at the helm.
