Nat Sciver-Brunt to miss Ireland ODIs for calf recovery
England captain has hinted at missing the Ireland ODIs next month to continue rehab for her calf issue that has forced her to play as a specialist batter.
England captain Nat Sciver-Brunt has indicated she may miss the upcoming ODI series against Ireland to continue rehabilitation for a calf injury. The all-rounder has been forced to play as a specialist batter while managing the issue. She stated she does not want to give up bowling just yet.
The five-match series is scheduled for next month. Sciver-Brunt's decision reflects the cautious approach England are taking with her workload management. The injury has limited her bowling contributions in recent matches.
England face Ireland in a series that also serves as preparation for the upcoming ICC Women's World Cup later this year. The team management will monitor her progress before finalising the squad.

England's cautious management of Sciver-Brunt suggests they view the World Cup as the higher priority over bilateral series results.
