England captain Nat Sciver-Brunt is fully recovered from her calf injury and ready for the home T20 World Cup. The 33-year-old all-rounder, who has almost 3,000 T20 international runs, will feature as a specialist batter at No. 3 for the opener against Sri Lanka on June 12. Coach Charlotte Edwards confirmed Sciver-Brunt won't bowl, focusing instead on her world-class batting.

Charlie Dean has impressed during her stint as captain in Sciver-Brunt's absence. The off-spinning all-rounder led England to T20I series victories over New Zealand and India, developing significantly as a leader. Edwards praised Dean's growth and the emergence of other young leaders like Dani Gibson and Lauren Bell, strengthening England's leadership options.

England begins their T20 World Cup campaign against Sri Lanka at Edgbaston on June 12. The tournament runs until July 5 with England facing Ireland, Scotland, West Indies, and New Zealand in the group stage. Dean's experience as temporary captain provides valuable backup should Sciver-Brunt's fitness become an issue during the tournament.
