England skipper Nat Sciver-Brunt highlighted the importance of the presence of former captain Heather Knight in the side ahead of their Women's World Cup 2025 opener against South Africa. This is going to be Sciver-Brunt's first ICC tournament as skipper, and she understands the importance of the input Knight can have for her. 

Heather Knight has won as many as 62 ODIs out of the 94 she has captained England in, including the sensational 2017 Women's World Cup triumph. With such a plethora of experience in her repertoire, Nat Sciver-Brunt claimed that she will be leaning on Knight for some valuable advice as a captain and also on her experience as a valuable batter.
