Brunt, Sciver's wedding plans pushed back due to COVID-19

“At the minute we're looking into a registry office. I know it's corny and all that, but it's nice," Brunt told BBC Sport.

“We're going to wait until you can have a minimum of 10 people there and make it just a really nice, cute, personal get together. That takes all the pressure off trying to make it happen when the future is completely unknown.”

They had co-ordinated with the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) regarding their international itinerary. They had planned for the wedding after getting to know that they would be finishing by August – they had series against India and South Africa plan. But the pandemic has put paid to those plans as of now.

After the pair returned from the T20 World Cup, Brunt had fallen ill and couldn’t train for six weeks, while Sciver practised in the backyard.

We didn't leave the house - we went to the Tesco four times in the first month and that was it. It was a bit weird," Sciver said.

England are set to resume training next Monday (June 22) and Brunt and Sciver will train together as part of their household bubble. As per the protocols in place, there will be temperature checks on arrival to training and then weekly tests as well.

Lisa Keightley, England’s head coach, has also returned from Australia and is slated to train with the couple.

“Lisa has to keep her distance, but she's the only one that can handle the balls. So that's going to be great for her - we'll smash it and she has to fetch it. She'll be livid,” Brunt said cheekily.
