KATHRYN BRYCE admitted switching allegiance to England is “always an option” as she starred in the Women’s World Cup qualifiers despite Scotland falling short.

Bryce was player of the tournament after topping the run charts and taking six wickets but Scotland missed out on a top-two finish that would have booked a spot at this year’s 50-over World Cup in India.

Having been in red-hot form both domestically and internationally in the past 12 months, helping Scotland reach the 2024 T20 World Cup, Bryce is an attractive choice for an England side in transition.
