World Cup-Winning Cricketers Nat Sciver And Katherine Brunt Get Married

After being in a relationship for nearly five years, England cricketers Nat Sciver and Katherine Brunt tied the knot on Sunday (May 29). The duo was part of the 2017 England Women's World Cup-winning team at the 'Home of Cricket' Lord's. Former England cricketer Isa Guha via her Instagram page had announced the wedding of the two cricketers.

Sciver and Brunt are not the first same-sex cricket couple to be married or get engaged. Amy Satterthwaite, along with fellow New Zealander Lea Tahuhu, got married in October, while South African pair Marizanne Kapp and Dane van Niekerk are engaged.

They had been dating for four years before and it's not like they rushed into getting married after all. They said that both were already thinking about getting married, so it was not unexpected when Nat asked Katherine to marry her in October 2019. The wedding was scheduled to be held in September 2020 (as per their initial plan). However, because of the COVID-19 pandemic and the subsequent quarantine, all weddings needed to be postponed until further notice.

Katherine Brunt and Nat Sciver have been playing for England since long and have always shown dedication and performances during their matches.
