T20 World Cup: England captain Nat Sciver-Brunt out for at least two matches with calf injury

Captain Nat Sciver-Brunt has been ruled out of England’s next two matches at the T20 World Cup after suffering a left calf injury on Tuesday.

Sciver-Brunt, 33, retired injured on 48 during England’s four-wicket victory over Ireland in Southampton.

Scans on Wednesday revealed a strain in the versatile athlete’s left calf, the same muscle he injured earlier this summer.

He will miss Saturday’s game against Scotland and Wednesday’s game against the West Indies but England have not ruled him out of the tournament at this stage.

England said their captains would continue to be evaluated in the coming weeks.
