T20 World Cup: England women’s team all-rounder Nat Sciver-Brunt clinched a staggering Rs 3.2 crore in the inaugural Women's Premier League (WPL) auction, a moment both exhilarating and sobering as she grappled with the notion of being "sold" in the cricketing marketplace.

Yet, amidst the excitement, there loomed the weight of a T20 World Cup match, a testament to the demands placed on modern-day cricketers.

With England's fixtures in New Zealand looming just days after the WPL final, Sciver-Brunt faced a dilemma familiar to many players: choosing between representing her franchise or her national team. Money inevitably played a role in her decision, but she also harbored hopes that such clashes between club and country commitments would diminish in the future, allowing players to prioritize international cricket without compromise.
