LONDON : England captain Nat Sciver-Brunt said she does not want Sunday’s Women’s Twenty20 World Cup final defeat by Australia to be her last appearance at one of cricket’s biggest tournaments.
England were beaten by seven wickets before a sell-out crowd at Lord’s as Australia chased down a target of 151 with 17 balls to spare to claim the title.
Sciver-Brunt, 33, recovered from a calf injury during the tournament and played a key role in England’s run to the final, scoring 75 in the semi-final victory over South Africa before making another half-century in the title decider.
Asked whether the tournament might be her final World Cup, Sciver-Brunt dismissed the suggestion.
“No, I haven’t thought about that. I don’t want it to be my last World Cup. I don’t even know when the next one is,” she told reporters.
“I’m living day by day at the moment.”
The next Women’s T20 World Cup is scheduled for 2028, while the next Women’s 50-over World Cup will be held in 2029.
