England has announced its 15-member squad for the ICC Women’s Cricket World Cup 2025, with star all-rounder Nat Sciver-Brunt leading the side into an ICC tournament for the first time as captain. Sciver-Brunt, the world’s top-ranked ODI batter, was appointed as England’s all-format skipper in April and now takes on the challenge of guiding her team to a fifth world title.
The four-time champions, who lifted the trophy in 1973, 1993, 2009, and 2017, will kick off their campaign against South Africa on October 3 in Bengaluru.
Head coach Charlotte Edwards emphasized the need for balance in the squad, especially considering subcontinental conditions. She explained that the team opted for an additional spinner, praising the depth available in that department. Edwards also welcomed Sarah Glenn’s return, calling it a fantastic boost for the side.
Edwards noted that experienced players Kate Cross, Maia Bouchier, and Alice Davidson-Richards were left out, admitting it would be disappointing for them. She highlighted the return of Danni Wyatt and Heather Knight, praising their impact on the batting unit. “Heather’s presence will be a huge boost for us,” Edwards remarked.
With a balanced squad and a mix of experience and young talent, England enters the tournament eyeing another historic run.
