<\/p>\nEngland great Katherine Sciver-Brunt said she is “99 per cent” confident her wife Nat will be back in time for the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup semi-final should England make it.<\/p>\n
Captain Nat Sciver-Brunt is sidelined by a calf injury as her side compete to win a first Women’s T20 World Cup title since 2009, when Katherine helped England to victory on home soil.<\/p>\n
Katherine said Nat will have a scan on Wednesday that will determine her return date, with England playing their last two group games against the West Indies on Wednesday and New Zealand on Saturday before a likely semi-final on either June 30 or July 2.<\/p>\n

After receiving her OBE for services to cricket and the Yorkshire Community on Tuesday, Katherine told media: “I’ve got high hopes for the team. I didn’t think by now they’d have posted two 200 scores, especially playing one without Nat, but it’s been really positive.<\/p>\n
“Nat is a bit of an iffy question at the minute, whether or not she’ll be fit, but they seem to be getting the job done without her.<\/p>\n
“She’s doing better; she’s getting re-scanned tomorrow to see how it’s progressed. She’s had her leg in magnetic fields for two hours a day, and she’s had hyperbaric chambers, all sorts, and wears a calf sleeve all day, every day. She’s doing all she can.<\/p>\n

“She’ll play injured, it just depends on how injured. The 27th (against New Zealand) depends on tomorrow, but 99 per cent of me says she’ll play the semi-final if they make it.”<\/p>\n
Katherine Sciver-Brunt, 40, retired from cricket in 2023, having helped England win two Women’s World Cups as well as the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup success in 2009.<\/p>\n
She gave birth to her and Nat’s son, Theodore, in March 2025.<\/p>\n
