England beat India by nine runs in the final at Lord’s. Five years later, England finished as runners-up in the 2022 Women’s ODI World Cup, going down to Australia in the final.

This won’t be the first time that Sciver-Brunt will be leading England. She had led the team in a T20I against New Zealand in 2021 and was also the England captain for the 2022 Commonwealth Games in Birmingham. England reached the semi-finals of that competition where they lost to India.
The first assignment for the 32-year-old as England’s permanent skipper will be a limited-overs series against West Indies at home in May. West Indies will play three T20Is and as many ODIs against England.
