May 19 (Reuters) - England ⁠captain Nat Sciver-Brunt has been ⁠ruled out of the bilateral series ‌against New Zealand and India due to a calf injury, the country's cricket board said ​on Tuesday, sparking concerns for ⁠the hosts of ⁠next month's Women's T20 World Cup.

The 33-year-old ⁠all-rounder ‌is recovering after suffering a calf tear playing in England's ⁠domestic Women's One-Day Cup.

Sciver-Brunt also missed ​the three-match ‌ODI series against New Zealand in ⁠early ​May.

"Our captain, Nat Sciver-Brunt has been ruled out of the India and New ⁠Zealand squads as she continues ​to rehab a sustained calf tear," the England Cricket Board said on X.

Batter Maia ⁠Bouchier and all-rounder Charis Pavely have been added to the squad for the New Zealand series starting on May ​20.

England begin their ⁠Group B campaign in the T20 World ​Cup against Sri Lanka ‌on June 12 in ​Birmingham.
