Natalie Ruth Sciver-Brunt was born on August 20, 1992, in Tokyo, Japan, where her mother, Julia Longbottom, worked as a British diplomat and later became UK Ambassador to Japan, and her father, Richard Sciver, worked in business. The family’s postings took a young Nat through Poland, where she first played football, and the Netherlands, where she picked up basketball and was introduced to cricket, before the family settled in England when she was a teenager.

She attended Epsom College in Surrey from 2007 to 2011, playing alongside future England teammate Alice Davidson-Richards, before going on to study Sports and Exercise Science at Loughborough University, a well-established pipeline for English cricketers balancing academic study with age-group representative honors.

Sciver-Brunt made her senior domestic debut for Surrey in 2010 and progressed quickly through England’s age-group and academy set-up. She made her full England debut in a home ODI against Pakistan on July 1, 2013, followed days later by a T20I debut against the same opposition, and made an immediate impact with the ball, taking 3 for 28 in only her second ODI to win player of the match.

A few months later, on October 23, 2013, in a tri-nation series match against New Zealand in Bridgetown, Barbados, she became the first England cricketer, male or female, to take a hat-trick in a Twenty20 International, dismissing three New Zealand batters in successive balls — a feat that quickly marked her as a rare talent capable of changing games with bat, ball, and in the field.

Sciver-Brunt has become one of the most complete all-rounders in the modern women’s game. She was a key member of England’s victorious 2017 Cricket World Cup squad, striking a maiden ODI century of 137 in a 213-run third-wicket stand with Heather Knight against Pakistan that matched the highest third-wicket partnership in Women’s World Cup history, and made her Test debut against Australia in January 2014. According to ESPNcricinfo’s player statistics, by mid-2026 she had scored more than 4,300 ODI runs and 2,900 T20I runs to go with well over 100 international wickets across formats, and in December 2024 she struck the fastest century in women’s Test history, reaching three figures off 96 balls against South Africa.

She has twice been named the ICC’s Women’s Cricketer of the Year, winning the Rachael Heyhoe Flint Award in both 2022 and 2023 — the first player to win the honor in consecutive years — and has also collected the PCA Women’s Player of the Year award, the Wisden Cricketer of the Year title, and the Walter Lawrence Award for the fastest century of an English domestic season on three separate occasions. She married fellow England international Katherine Brunt in May 2022; both adopted the combined surname Sciver-Brunt, and from January 2023 the pairing — one of the most prominent couples in the sport, both decorated internationals in their own right — has used the shared name in all cricket contexts.

Sciver-Brunt served roughly three years as England’s vice-captain before being appointed the team’s permanent, all-format captain on April 29, 2025, as confirmed in the ECB’s official captaincy announcement, succeeding Heather Knight after a heavy Ashes series defeat and while on maternity leave following the birth of her and Katherine’s son, Theodore, in March 2025. She led England to the semi-finals of the 2025 Cricket World Cup in India, where the side was eliminated by eventual finalists South Africa, and captained England to the final of the 2026 Women’s T20 World Cup at Lord’s, where England lost by seven wickets to Australia.

Neither the ECB nor Sciver-Brunt has published a precise combined income figure, so the picture below is built from separately reported deals rather than one confirmed total. Her best-documented income stream is the Women’s Premier League: according to Bloomberg’s reporting on her earnings trajectory, she has been paid in the region of £320,000 to £330,000 a season by Mumbai Indians since the WPL’s launch in 2023, making her one of the tournament’s best-paid overseas players.

She adds a reported £140,000 salary from Trent Rockets for the 2026 Hundred season — at the time of Bloomberg’s reporting, roughly ten times the top salary then on offer in the ECB-run women’s Hundred competition — on top of her England central contract and match fees, which the ECB does not publicly disclose, plus a smaller endorsement income from her equipment and ambassador deals. Combined, Bloomberg reported her total cricket and commercial earnings in a full year spanning WPL, Hundred, and international cricket as approaching the $1 million mark, a level no English women’s cricketer had previously reached.

Sciver-Brunt holds an England Women’s central contract and was among the players entering the second year of their existing two-year deal when the ECB’s official 2025/26 central contracts list was announced on November 28, 2025, one of 17 full contracts issued alongside four Skills Contracts. She also holds a domestic contract with The Blaze, the regional franchise formed from the former Surrey Stars set-up, having previously represented Surrey and Northern Diamonds.

In franchise cricket, she was bought by Mumbai Indians for INR 3.20 crore (about £320,000) at the inaugural WPL auction in February 2023, as reported by Sky Sports’ coverage of the sale, tying for the second-highest price of that auction, and helped the franchise win the competition’s first title that season. She has been retained every year since, and per ESPNcricinfo’s coverage of the WPL 2026 retentions, was Mumbai Indians’ very first retention ahead of the 2026 season at INR 3.5 crore, a higher figure than the team’s own captain, Harmanpreet Kaur. She also holds a contract with Trent Rockets in The Hundred, a franchise she has represented since the competition’s 2021 launch and previously captained, and has held stints in Australia’s Women’s Big Bash League with Perth Scorchers, Melbourne Stars, and Hobart Hurricanes.

Sciver-Brunt’s principal equipment sponsor is Kookaburra, which supplies her bats through its Aura range; per Kookaburra’s own player page, the partnership centers on a lightweight, control-oriented blade the brand markets around her playing style.

She is also a brand ambassador for RBC Wealth Management, fronting its Community Leadership partnership with the youth cricket charity Chance to Shine, including a Skills Share Day session with schoolchildren at Old Trafford ahead of the 2026 T20 World Cup, according to Chance to Shine’s coverage of the event. Beyond her Kookaburra and RBC deals, no other individually confirmed, sourced endorsement contracts are documented in available reporting; as one of the sport’s most recognizable current players, further undisclosed commercial deals are plausible but unconfirmed.

No publicly confirmed business ventures, company directorships, or investment portfolios attributable to Nat Sciver-Brunt personally are documented in available reporting. Her wife, Katherine Sciver-Brunt, joined the Yorkshire County Cricket Club board as a non-executive director in July 2024 and took a Trent Rockets coaching role in 2026, but those appointments belong to Katherine’s own retirement career rather than Nat’s finances and should not be conflated with them.

Sciver-Brunt has made media and community appearances, including as a guest on the “Under the Lid” cricket podcast co-hosted by Katherine, but no evidence in available reporting indicates these are commercial ventures she owns or profits from directly.

No verified reporting identifies a specific home, address, or purchase price for property owned by Nat and Katherine Sciver-Brunt; the couple has kept details of their home life, including their address, private since marrying in 2022 and becoming parents to son Theodore in 2025.

No substantiated reporting identifies specific luxury vehicles or other major personal assets. This profile does not assign a luxury-asset classification for Sciver-Brunt, as no purchase of this kind is confirmed in sourced reporting.
