Former England bowler Katherine Sciver-Brunt has been appointed as assistant coach of Trent Rockets Women for the 2026 edition of The Hundred.<\/p>\n
Sciver-Brunt is England Women’s second-highest wicket-taker across all formats, claiming 335 scalps in 267 appearances, and played for Trent Rockets in the first three editions of The Hundred, making 19 appearances.<\/p>\n
The 41-year-old retired in 2023 and transitioned into working as a co-commentator and analyst, with this her first coaching role in her post-playing career.<\/p>\n
“The time has come for me to step back into a role within cricket. I’ve had a wild three years since retiring, trying to figure out what life looks like for me now as a mum,” said Sciver-Brunt, who has a one-year-old son with her wife and fellow cricketer Nat Sciver-Brunt.<\/p>\n
“The first place I thought of was Trent Rockets. Trent Bridge is such a special place and having been involved as a player with the Rockets before, coming back as a coach was an opportunity I couldn’t turn down.<\/p>\n
“I’m moving into a new era, and I know coaching and mentoring players of this standard will be something I’ll love.”<\/p>\n
Former Nottinghamshire spinner Graeme White is also joining Chris Read’s coaching staff in the role of fielding coach, while former South Africa white-ball bowling coach Anton Roux has been appointed as assistant to Peter Moores for Trent Rockets Men.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Former England bowler Katherine Sciver-Brunt has been appointed as assistant coach of Trent Rockets Women for the 2026…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":702001,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[34],"tags":[1721,101,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-702000","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-cricket","tag-cricket","tag-sports","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/702000","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=702000"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/702000\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/702001"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=702000"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=702000"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=702000"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
