Katherine Syver-Brant joins the Trent Rockets coaching staff

Former England bowler Catherine Syver-Brant has been appointed as Trent Rockets Women’s assistant coach for the 2026 edition of The Hundred.

Sciver-Brunt is England Women’s second highest wicket-taker in all formats, claiming 335 scalps in 267 games and played for Trent Rockets in the first three editions of The Hundred, playing 19 matches.

The 41-year-old retired in 2023 and transitioned to work as a co-commentator and analyst, along with his first coaching role in his post-playing career.

“It’s time to get back into a role in cricket. I’ve spent the three years since retirement trying to figure out what my life as a mother is now,” said Syver-Brant, who has a one-year-old son with wife and fellow cricketer Nate Syver-Brant.

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

“I’m moving into a new era, and I know coaching and mentoring players of this quality will be something I will love.”

Former Nottinghamshire spinner Graeme White also joins Chris Reid’s coaching staff in the role of fielding coach, while former South African white-ball bowling coach Anton Roux has been appointed as assistant to Peter Moores for the Trent Rockets men.
