England Women wrapped up a dominant home series against West Indies Women, securing a clean 3-0 sweep in the ODIs after already clinching the T20I series by the same margin.
In the third and final ODI, captain Nat Sciver-Brunt delivered a stellar all-round performance, but it was her off-field moment that stole the spotlight.
Following the final ODI, England’s head coach Charlotte Edwards interviewed Sciver-Brunt. What made the moment memorable was that the 32-year-old skipper turned up holding her two-month-old baby, Theo.
The video of the interview quickly went viral, earning praise across social media for her remarkable balance of leadership and motherhood.
In the conversation, Sciver-Brunt reflected on her return to cricket, saying, “Overall, it’s been really fun. I’ve learned my speeches could use some work, but I’ve enjoyed working with the team. Theo’s adjusting to hotel life, the tour routine, and cricket grounds — he’ll have to get used to it!”

The third ODI, played in Taunton on June 7, was shortened to 21 overs due to rain. Batting first, West Indies managed just 106/8. England chased down the target in just 10.5 overs, losing only one wicket. Sciver-Brunt was at the heart of the chase, smashing 57 off 33 deliveries, including 9 boundaries, to finish the game in style.
In March, Nat Sciver-Brunt and her wife, former England international Katherine Brunt, welcomed their son, Theo. After a brief break due to maternity leave and injury, Sciver-Brunt made a strong return to international cricket.
In May, she created history by becoming the first professional England cricketer to captain the national team while also balancing the responsibilities of motherhood.
Her leadership, both on and off the field, has drawn admiration. As she embraces a new chapter as both a captain and a mother, Nat Sciver-Brunt continues to inspire — showing that professional excellence and parenthood can go hand in hand.
