England's cricket captain Nat Sciver-Brunt has been forced to withdraw from the remaining T20 matches against India due to a groin injury. The 32-year-old sustained the injury during the second T20 match on Tuesday, which led to her absence in Friday's third game. She will also miss the upcoming matches at Old Trafford on Wednesday and Edgbaston on June 12. Tammy Beaumont will continue to lead the team in her absence.

Despite this setback, Sciver-Brunt is expected to recover in time for the three one-day internationals scheduled from July 16. These matches are crucial as they are England's final preparations before the 50-over World Cup in the autumn.

In the third T20 match on Friday, England managed a narrow victory by five runs, keeping the series alive after initial defeats in the first two games. This win has been a morale booster for the team as they adjust to the absence of their captain.
