Natalie Sciver was born in Japan and she fell in love with cricket in Netherlands. She moved to England to build a career in cricket and on the back of two really good seasons for Surrey in 2012 and 2013, she became a part of the England team in 2014.

Sciver initially burst on to the scene as a skiddy medium pace bowler but later she developed her batting prowess quite a bit and is considered as a genuine allrounder. Sciver holds the distinguished record of becoming the first bowler to pick up a hat-trick in T20 cricket. She was a part of England's World Cup winning squad in 2017 and was named as one of five Wisden Cricketers of the Year in 2018 for her part in the victory.

In 2019 she was given a full central contract and is one of the key members of the England side going into the 2022 Women's World Cup in New Zealand.

Personal life: Sciver's mother Julia is a British diplomat and has been the ambassador of the United Kingdom to Japan since March 2021.

Growing up in the Netherlands, Sciver played football and tennis. Also she has lived in Poland where she played in the Women's League Football.

She is currently engaged to her team-mate Katherine Brunt since October 2019 with their wedding postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
