Sciver-Brunt hopes England can thrive on being World Cup outsiders

FOCUSED ON GLORY: Nat Sciver-Brunt helped England become world champions at Lord's in 2017

(BRADLEY COLLYER/PA)

Sciver-Brunt is one of only four survivors from the team that became world champions at Lord's in 2017 and has witnessed a series of tournament disappointments in recent years.

Since finishing as beaten finalists in their 2022 title defence, they have struggled to make their mark on the global stage, exiting the T20 World Cup in the semifinals and group stage at the last two editions.

But with Sciver-Brunt and head coach Charlotte Edwards still in the first six months at the helm, there has been a reset of sorts.
