England have underachieved since winning the ​2017 Women's World Cup and ​they are determined to put ‌that ​right when they host the Twenty20 edition on home soil in June, captain Nat Sciver-Brunt said.

England have underachieved since winning the ​2017 Women's World Cup and ​they are determined to put ‌that ​right when they host the Twenty20 edition on home soil in June, captain Nat Sciver-Brunt said. The 33-year-old ‌replaced Heather Knight as all-formats captain in April last year and the T20 World Cup will be her second major International Cricket Council (ICC) event as ‌captain and her first at home.

Sciver-Brunt led the team at the 50-overs ‌World Cup last year in India and Sri Lanka, where they were knocked out in the semi-finals by South Africa. "We would have liked to have won a lot more ⁠than we ​have done and ⁠we'd obviously like that to change this summer," she told BBC Sport on Monday.

"A win ⁠could change what women's cricket looks like in this country. Just the carrot ​of that is enough to motivate anyone really. It certainly could change ⁠what this team is about. "We didn't really do it after 2017, but being a consistently ⁠good ​team is something that everyone tries to do. I'm hoping we can be a consistently good team and we'd love to start off ⁠with a T20 World Cup win."

England are drawn in Group B alongside defending ⁠champions New Zealand, ⁠West Indies, Sri Lanka, Ireland and Scotland. They open their campaign in the 12-team tournament against Sri Lanka ‌on June ‌12.
