23 July 2017 was a memorable day for England’s women team as they won the World Cup beating India in the final at the iconic Lord’s, but it was more special for Brunt and Sciver as one of them finally mustered some courage and expressed her love to another.
After several years of living together, England women cricketers Katherine Brunt and Natalie Sciver have decided to marry each other.
“She was madly in love with me!” But I was constantly putting her at arm’s length because I didn’t think it was professional and I didn’t want to stuff up our friendship,” Brunt tole The Guardian.
While talking about her parents being different from Natalie’s, Brunt said, “My parents are different to Natalie’s. They are quite Christian so it is not something that is done and that’s why it has held me back. They don’t believe in the way I choose to live my life, basically, so it has been quite difficult.”
Sciver acknowledged to the fact that there was not as much pressure as there was on Brunt, but she reckons that the same will add to her confidence.

“There is still something holding me back a little bit in everyday life. Subconsciously, there is a reason why I might put my hand in my pocket or avoid conversations about my relationships,” Sciver said.
As far as engagement is concerned, the 27-year-old English cricketer posted some photos on Instagram with caption, “Welcome to our wine and magazine #ISaidYes #Mrs&Mrs #Bridesmaids”
