England great Katherine Sciver-Brunt said she is "99 per cent" confident her wife Nat will be back in time for the Women's T20 World Cup semi-finals.
Captain Nat Sciver-Brunt is currently sidelined by a calf injury as her side compete to win a first Women's T20 World Cup title since 2009, when Katherine helped England to victory on home soil.
Nat, who sustained her injury against Ireland on June 16, had a scan on Wednesday which the ECB said showed "good progress" but having missed the wins over Scotland and West Indies will also sit out the group-stage finale versus New Zealand at The Kia Oval on Saturday (6.30pm, live on Your Site).
She is targeting a return in the semi-finals on June 30 or July 2.
After receiving her OBE for services to cricket and the Yorkshire Community on Tuesday, Katherine told media: "Nat is a bit of an iffy question at the minute, whether or not she'll be fit, but they seem to be getting the job done without her.
"She's doing better; She's had her leg in magnetic fields for two hours a day, and she's had hyperbaric chambers, all sorts, and wears a calf sleeve all day, every day. She's doing all she can.
"She'll play injured, it just depends on how injured - 99 per cent of me says she'll play the semi-final."
Katherine Sciver-Brunt, 40, retired from cricket in 2023, having helped England win two Women's World Cups as well as the ICC Women's T20 World Cup success in 2009. She gave birth to her and Nat's son, Theodore, in March 2025.
