England women's cricket captain Nat Sciver-Brunt will miss at least the team's next two T20 World Cup fixtures after sustaining a left calf injury on Tuesday. The 33-year-old all-rounder retired hurt on 48 not out during England's four-wicket victory over Ireland in Southampton. Scans on Wednesday confirmed a strain in the same calf muscle that caused her problems earlier this summer. She will be absent for Saturday's match against Scotland and Wednesday's encounter with West Indies, but England have not yet ruled her out of the remainder of the tournament. The team has stated that Sciver-Brunt will continue to be assessed over the coming weeks.
