The hosts could join the the likes of the national football team who won the 2025 European Championships in football, and a rugby team who tasted World Cup glory last September in a golden year of women’s sport in the country.
As one of three squad members to taste 2017 Cricket World Cup success, Sciver-Brunt feels the team can play their part in driving what’s been a strong period for English women’s sport, though admits she is trying to remain present on a personal front.
“We’ve got a chance to be part of that movement of women’s sport in the country.
“But for now we’ll stay in our bubble”.
“I mean, Katherine (Sciver-Brunt, wife and former World Cup winner with England) said to me after the game the other night: ‘It’s actually is bigger than you think it is.'”
“I’m trying to stay really present and think about the things that are in front of me rather than anything too far away.
“We’ve been living in a bubble as a team together, and we’re not letting anyone sort of stay out of that.”
“I think once we finish the tournament and reflect over the next few weeks, we can hopefully see how much, and how far we’ve come and what is meant to people watching and the country.”
