England captain Nat Sciver-Brunt said she is on course to return from a calf injury in ​time for their Twenty20 World Cup opener on ‌home soil next month, though the all-rounder has yet to resume bowling practice.

The 33-year-old suffered a calf tear playing in ​the domestic Women's One-Day Cup in April ​and was ruled out of England's series against New Zealand and India this month.

England face Australia and India ​in World Cup warm-up games before beginning their campaign ​against Sri Lanka on June 12 in Birmingham.

"Everything is sort of going to plan as far as it can do ​at the moment," Sciver-Brunt said on a BBC podcast ​on Thursday.

"It's been really frustrating watching from the sidelines and not ‌being ⁠able to help and feel like I'm missing out a little bit ... I'm batting, but I haven't been bowling yet, that's to come.

"All of the plans ​that we've been ​putting together to get me back on track is ending with that first game in ​mind. We've got a couple of warm-up ​games beforehand to practise my skills in as well. It's going to plan thus far."

England have not won the T20 World ​Cup since the inaugural edition ​in 2009. The 2026 edition runs from June 12 to July 5.
