Sciver-Brunt: Pregnancy in sport is uncharted territory

ENGLAND all-rounder Nat Sciver-Brunt believes pregnancy in sport is uncharted territory.

Sciver-Brunt revealed on the Under the Lid podcast — co-hosted by wife and former England international Katherine — that she missed England’s first IT20 match against Pakistan to undergo egg-freezing treatment.

The 31-year-old had the procedure in between the conclusion of England’s tour of New Zealand in April and the start of the Pakistan series in May and she believes it has sparked conversations within the England team.

Sciver-Brunt told the PA news agency: “It’s a bit of a weird procedure to go through, but one that I really wanted to do.

“I guess in terms of sharing it, even as an England side we don’t really talk about fertility and that sort of stuff that much.



The team then have a series against Ireland before kicking off their T20 World Cup campaign in October against South Africa in Bangladesh.
