The rare therapy used by NBA icon O'Neal to get Sciver-Brunt fit

England cricket captain Nat Sciver-Brunt is undergoing a rare therapy to ensure her fitness for the T20 World Cup semi-final. This treatment is reportedly the same one utilized by NBA legend Shaquille O'Neal. Sciver-Brunt sustained a hamstring injury during the recent match against Australia on July 23, 2024, which led to her absence from the subsequent game against India on July 25, 2024. The specific nature of the therapy has not been disclosed, but its use by O'Neal suggests a focus on recovery from significant physical strain. Sciver-Brunt's availability for the crucial semi-final match is considered vital for the England team's prospects in the tournament. The team management is closely monitoring her progress, with the semi-final scheduled for July 26, 2024. Her potential return would significantly bolster England's batting and fielding capabilities.
