It's really tough when these sorts of things happen, but that is where we want to be as an England side, having huge decisions to make every time you select a squad or an XI,\" Sciver-Brunt was quoted by ICC from media reports from England.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>She added that, in a broader sense, such decisions reflect positively on the team: \u201cI think in a roundabout way it's a positive for where we are as a group and a squad. The more that can happen, the better our team will be.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Sciver-Brunt, who was named captain after Heather Knight stepped down in March, will lead England in their pursuit of a fifth Women\u2019s Cricket World Cup title. Having been sidelined with an Achilles issue during the summer, the seam-bowling all-rounder is now ready to take on more bowling responsibilities at the marquee tournament.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>She added that, in a broader sense, such decisions reflect positively on the team: \u201cI think in a roundabout way it's a positive for where we are as a group and a squad.
