Former England bowler Katherine Sciver-Brunt has been named Trent Rockets Women’s assistant coach for the 2026 edition of The Hundred.

Sciver-Brunt is England’s second-highest women’s wicket-taker across all formats, with 335 scalps in 267 appearances, and played for Trent Rockets in the first three editions of The Hundred, making 19 appearances.

The 41-year-old retired in 2023 and went on to work as a co-commentator and analyst, this being her first coaching role in her post-playing career.

“It’s time for me to play a role in cricket again. I’ve had a wild three years since I retired, trying to figure out what my life is like now as a mother,” said Sciver-Brunt, who has a one-year-old son with his wife and fellow cricketer Nat Sciver-Brunt.

“The first place I thought of was Trent Rockets. Trent Bridge is a very special place and having been involved as a player with the Rockets before, returning as a coach was an opportunity I couldn’t turn down.

“I am entering a new era and I know that coaching and mentoring players at this level will be something I will love.”

Former Nottinghamshire player Graeme White will also join Chris Read’s coaching staff in the role of fielding coach, while former South Africa white-ball bowling coach Anton Roux has been named assistant to Peter Moores for Trent Rockets Men.
