The disappointing finish to the T20 World Cup completed a rollercoaster of a tournament for Sciver-Brunt, who led the team superbly to victories over Sri Lanka and Ireland at the start of the event before her troublesome calf problem again threatened to derail the entire campaign.
Sciver-Brunt returned from injury for England’s semi-final triumph over South Africa with a superb innings of 75, but failed to make much impact in the title decider despite top-scoring for her side with another half-century.
“It’s been up and down, to be honest,” Sciver-Brunt added.
“Obviously the first few games were really special, like that first game in Birmingham was a real highlight.
“But trying to nurse an injury during a World Cup hasn’t been easy.
“I guess I always wanted to try and remain positive around the group to, I guess, not let on too much how I’m feeling, I suppose, but missing out those games were pretty tough. I’ve just tried to do everything I could do to not be too disrupted, obviously, coming back.
“But I probably surprised myself a bit coming back in that semi-final and being able to do what I did. I guess just immensely proud of what I was able to do. Obviously not how I saw my World Cup going or the ideal scenario. So yeah, just really proud of what I’ve been able to do.”
