England captain Nat Sciver-Brunt will miss the remainder of her team's intra-squad series in South Africa after returning home for family reasons. The England and Wales Cricket Board confirmed she won't play further in the tour, which was relocated from Abu Dhabi to South Africa amid Middle East conflict.

Leading Team Brittin against vice-captain Charlie Dean's squad, Sciver-Brunt was preparing for this summer's Women's T20 World Cup. The tour features eight uncapped players including Tilly Corteen-Coleman and Jodi Grewcock, giving them opportunities to impress selectors ahead of the June tournament.

The Women's T20 World Cup begins June 12 when England faces Sri Lanka at Edgbaston, with the final at Lord's on July 5. England, who reached the 50-over World Cup semi-finals in October, aim to replicate the home success of England's women's football team and Red Roses rugby squad.
