Katherine Sciver-Brunt

Katherine Brunt started cricket at a very young age, she represented Yorkshire at under-15 and under-17 level. She has won two World Cups and one T20 World Cup with England and has been named England's Women's cricketer of the year four times.

A right-arm fast bowler, she represented Yorkshire in the age group sides before taking a break from the game at 17 due to her weight issues. She made her Test debut in 2004 and the following her played her first ODI and T20I matches.

Brunt has a knack of bringing her best game to the fore when it matters the most. She was instrumental in England's 2009 T20 World Cup winning campaign. Against New Zealand in the final, she ended with surreal figures of 3 for 6 and was named the Player of the Match.

Brunt's career has often been affected by injuries which saw her miss the 2007-08 Ashes and in the 2013-14 Ashes and considered quitting the game altogether but the ushering in of a new era in 2014 when the ECB announced the first central contracts for Women players, revitalised her career and she hasn't looked back since then.

One of the quickest bowlers in the world, she is undoubtedly England's strike-bowler upfront to go with her passion and unbridled aggression she displays on the field. At the age of 36, she will be hoping for one final swansong in the 2022 Women's Cricket World Cup in New Zealand.

Personal life: In 2019 October, Brunt announced she was getting engaged to her England team-mate Natalie Sciver. The wedding was scheduled for September 2020, but has been postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
