Sciver-Brunt is expected to return for the second T20 in Northampton on Friday (18:30 BST).<\/p>\n
The all-rounder is one of the highest-paid female athletes in the UK after being sold for about \u00a3320,000 to Mumbai Indians in the Women\u2019s Premier League auction in early 2023.<\/p>\n
Egg-freezing is the process of harvesting and freezing a woman’s eggs so she can have children at a later date.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019d like to carry a baby when I finish playing cricket and I think Katherine would like to carry a baby as well,” she said.<\/p>\n
\u201cEngland have been really good. The sports science and medical department are really supportive and helping me along the way, making sure coming back to cricket has been smooth. After the procedure you\u2019re wiped out for quite a few days.\u201d<\/p>\n
Katherine added that the 2028 Olympics, when cricket will return to the Games in Los Angeles, is a major motivator for Sciver-Brunt extending her career, rather than taking a break to have a baby.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf Nat was 24 she might want to have a child, then come back and play. At 31, it\u2019s on the verge,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
\u201cFreezing the eggs now and having healthy eggs to come back to -it\u2019s great to be able to have that choice because it\u2019s not cheap and very invasive.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
