Fielding Woes and Missed Opportunities Leave England Searching for Answers. England Women's cricket team is facing increased scrutiny after a 2-1 ODI series defeat to India, with questions being raised not just from pundits but from within their own ranks, most notably, former fast bowler Katherine Sciver-Brunt. Following a 13-run loss in the decider at Durham, Sciver-Brunt, now a broadcaster, publicly challenged the team’s discipline and desire, comments that have sparked considerable debate and drawn a firm response from current players and management.

“It looks lazy and like they don’t care” – Katherine Sciver-Brunt

Katherine, England’s leading ODI wicket-taker and wife of current captain Nat Sciver-Brunt, didn’t hold back during her commentary on BBC Test Match Special. She questioned whether all players were fully committed to the cause, suggesting some performances came across as lacking intent or intensity.

“To me, it looks lazy and like they don’t care,” she said. “It came across to me as bad attitude and no discipline. I don’t think everyone is doing everything they possibly can.” While she acknowledged that this wasn’t the case for every player, the former Pacer’s critique pointed to a wider issue: mental strength and internal fight. She called on the side to be more expressive, courageous, and front-footed in pressure situations.

Nat Sciver-Brunt Responds: “Everyone is committed.”

Speaking after the match, Nat Sciver-Brunt defended her players, stressing that what may seem like apathy from the outside doesn’t reflect what goes on internally. “I know everyone on that pitch is committed to doing the best they can for England,” she said. “I’ve been put in that situation before when I was younger ‘She looks so relaxed. Maybe she doesn’t care, but that’s not what’s happening inside.”

Nat’s own innings of 98 off 105 deliveries, in a record-chase attempt that fell just short, exemplified the kind of fight and resilience that she believes the team still possesses. The latest defeat adds to a growing concern about England's fielding and on-field composure. Fielding errors were prevalent throughout the multi-format summer, notably during the Ashes and the T20 World Cup last year. Six dropped catches in a recent T20I at The Oval reignited questions around focus and sharpness.

In the final ODI, England's chase of 319 faltered despite a 162-run partnership between Nat and Emma Lamb. Missed lbw reviews and another scrappy fielding display didn’t help their cause. India’s win, built on Harmanpreet Kaur’s hundred and Kranti Goud’s six-wicket haul, sealed the series and raised fresh alarms just 10 weeks out from the ODI World Cup.

Edwards Backs Players as Off-Field Distractions Mount

Head coach Charlotte Edwards came to the team's defence, firmly backing the squad's professionalism and unity. “I couldn’t be happier with where the squad’s at, in terms of their attitude and effort,” she said. “That was something I made clear when I came into this role, and I’ve seen that reflected in how the group operates.” Edwards, who shares a long history with Katherine Sciver-Brunt as former teammates, acknowledged the external criticism but stood by her current players.

The England camp also had to deal with off-field noise involving Sophie Ecclestone and former spinner Alex Hartley. Ecclestone clarified she had opted not to do a Sky Sports interview with Hartley to focus on her warm-up routine months after Hartley said she had been “given the cold shoulder” following critical comments she made about England’s fitness last year.

Managing Director Clare Connor addressed that controversy post-Ashes, stressing the importance of media engagement and professionalism under growing public scrutiny. “As professional women’s cricket has developed, that scrutiny is something that we all have to embrace and accept,” Connor said.

With the 50-over World Cup in India on the horizon, England now have to improve its tactics, but also contend with perceptions about their mental fortitude and togetherness as a team. Questions will continue to surround their on-field intent, leadership approach, and tension between being calm and aggressive. England’s World Cup campaign in India could be critical not only for results but to quiet the distractions that now surround them from their own dressroom and outside.

ENG-W vs IND-W Match Preview

The third and final One-Day International between England Women and India Women will take place on Tuesday in Chester-le-Street. India Women surprised many by winning the T20I series and then the opening ODI to lead 1-0. However, the hosts responded well in the second game, tying it at 1-1 and setting off a winner-takes-all match. England is going to be eager to prevent losing another series at home. For India Women, the opportunity to achieve another outstanding result is right in front of them.

Vice-captain – Danielle Wyatt-Hodge, Charlotte Dean

ENG-W vs IND-W Probable Winners:

Though England Women won their last match by 5 runs, we believe India Women still have a strong chance of taking a 3-1 lead. They have a strong, in-form top order and an effective bowling attack. England's batting troubles persist, and as a result, India appears to have a slight advantage in the contest. Considering the team combination, India Women is expected to win this match.

England women have named their squad for the upcoming three-match ODI series against India later this month, as Nat Sciver-Brunt is expected to take a full part in the format after missing the last couple of T20Is due to a groin injury. She suffered the injury in the second clash, but the selectors are optimistic about their captain’s fitness for the opening clash on July 16 at the Ageas Bowl in Southampton.

Sophie Ecclestone, who missed the West Indies ODIs early in the season recovering from the injury, replaces leg spinner Sarah Glenn in the squad. Hampshire’s Maia Bouchier, who got a T20I squad call-up last week, is also back in contention. Lauren Filer, who averaged 76 mph in bowling the fastest record over in women’s cricket, has also been included.

It will be a tough task for the home side after their series defeats. They showed a tense fight after dropping the first two games, which pleased the new head coach, Charlotte Edwards, who sees the ODI series as another test for the side’s credentials to rebuild. Their focus is now on the future after disappointments at the T20 World Cup and the Ashes last winter.

England women announce experienced squad for India series

Coach Charlotte Edwards feels that the T20I series pushed them as a unit. “We knew they would, and we've learned a lot about the team in the three games so far. There have been some good moments, but we're a team in transition and we need to keep working hard to do what we're trying to do more consistently, and for longer.” He addressed the media.

“The squad has largely stayed the same since the ODI series against West Indies, but Soph [Ecclestone] comes back into the side, meaning Sarah Glenn misses out this time around. We've also added Maia Bouchier to bolster our batting line-up and continue to offer competition for places.” He reflected on this series being the perfect preparation for the upcoming Women’s World Cup in India this autumn. The second fixture of the series will take place on July 19 at Lord’s before the action heads to Chester-Le-Street on July 22.

ENG-W vs IND-W Match Preview

We're in the second match of a five-match T20 series, and England Women will work hard to tie the series. India Women took a crucial 1-0 lead with a 97-run win in the first game. The Indians ruled the game from the start, with their batters and bowlers providing the goods, and they will look to build on this momentum. England Women will aim to make an impressive recovery with a better performance. England Women have had a good record against Indian Women in England. They have won ten of the thirteen games played between the two teams in England. They have a flawless record at Bristol, with five consecutive victories.
