England Women’s cricket enters a new era as all-rounder Nat Sciver-Brunt is officially appointed captain, succeeding Heather Knight, whose nine-year leadership came to an end following a disappointing Ashes whitewash.

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 been named England captain across all three formats in the first significant appointment by new head coach Charlotte Edwards.
