The Fake Wedding Of Natalie Sciver And Katherine Brunt: With the new normal in cricket disseminating its vice across the players, they have confessed to the fact that life is extremely difficult in the bio-secure bubble, especially with zero physical contact with your loved ones.
Keeping yourself confined to the bubble and virtually keeping in touch with your closest ones makes life a living nightmare given the prolonged spans of the tournament.
Now that players are slowly getting accustomed to the new normal which is a grim situation with zero fans, no cheers, and no showboating, cricket has been exposed to its last bone with cricketers bringing out their dressing rooms to the fans to give them a glimpse of what exactly goes on.
In an innovative way to fight this isolation from the world, the English women’s team arranged a fake marriage for their fellow country-women, Natalie Sciver and Katherine Brunt.
The English women’s team is locked in a five-match T20I series with West Indies and the first game was scheduled to be played on Monday. England drubbed the Caribbean army by a comprehensive margin of 47 runs.
However, coming back to the incident that took the cricketing roster by the scruff of its neck and left them in splits, was the trumped-up wedding between the two love birds who were supposed to marry in France on September 19, 2020, but COVID 19 played a spoilsport.
Their English teammates didn’t really want the couple to be dejected as they arranged for a fake wedding with the entire team being present in their kits.
English Women’s captain, Heather Knight shared a video of the wedding ceremony on Instagram and the entire cricketing sodality went berserk.
“Natalie Sciver and Katherine Brunt were meant to be getting married yesterday, so England had a ‘fake wedding’ for them in their bio-secure bubble.”
