00:00Nat Skiver Brunt is fit and ready to go for the global tournament after recovering from a calf tear she
00:06suffered while playing in the domestic Women's One Day Cup back in April.
00:10The injury had previously ruled the captain out of England's recent series, making her return a significant boost for the
00:16squad as they finalize their tournament preparations.
00:20Head coach Charlotte Edwards indicated the all-rounder likely will not bowl during the World Cup, choosing instead to focus
00:28entirely on her elite batting skills.
00:31Edwards praised her captain's world-class batting abilities, stating that Skiver Brunt is the best in the world at her
00:38craft and will occupy the No. 3 spot in the lineup.
00:41The decision to place her at No. 3 aligns with the players' wishes, following highly successful stints in that specific
00:49batting position across global franchises.
00:52England will play two World Cup warm-up games next week, matching up against heavyweight rivals Australia and India to
00:59fine-tune their strategy.
01:01The team will officially launch their World Cup campaign on June 12th, facing off against Sri Lanka in their opening
01:08group fixture in Birmingham.
01:09The coach shared the positive update following a 2-to-1 series victory over India, which England clinched on Tuesday
01:17with a comfortable six-wicket win.
01:20Skiver Brunt holds an incredible statistical record for her country, standing as England's second-highest scorer in women's T20 internationals
01:29with 2,960 runs.
01:32Her historical impact extends to the bowling department as well, where she ranks as the national side's fourth-highest wicket
01:39-taker,
01:39with 90 wickets across 137 career matches.
