Nat Sciver-Brunt Back in Action as England Announce ODI Squad for India WODI series

The 15-man England Women's team has been announced for the ODI portion of the current multi-format series against India Women. After missing a portion of the T20I series owing to an injury, captain Natalie Sciver-Brunt has fully recovered and will lead the group in the 50-over portion of the trip.

The all-rounder, 32, has been recuperating from a groin injury she suffered on July 1 during England's second WT20I match against India. Sciver-Brunt will miss the final two games as well as the third Twenty20 International on Friday because of this ailment. Notably, England's captain for the remaining two WT20Is will be Tammy Beaumont.
