Major blow to England as batter out of international summer
She top-scored with an unbeaten 66 off 47 balls as England sealed the series sweep, but the effort came at a price as she was unable to take the field afterward due to the injury.
England have already roped in Alice Capsey and Lauren Filer as injury replacements for the ODI series against the West Indies.
Although no timeline has been confirmed for her return, the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) have expressed hope that Knight will be available for selection ahead of the ICC Women's Cricket World Cup, scheduled to take place in India later this year.
Knight's absence will be a significant blow to England, both on and off the field as the Three Lions look to bounce back in their new era with Charlotte Edwards as Head Coach and Nat Sciver-Brunt taking over as the England captain.

Root century takes England to ODI series win over West Indies
Joe Root hit his highest one-day international score, making 166 not out as England beat the West Indies by three wickets in Cardiff on Sunday. Victory gave the hosts an unassailable 2-0 lead ahead of Tuesday's finale at the Oval, with Harry Brook enjoying a series win in his first campaign as England's full-time white-ball captain. England, chasing 309 to win, collapsed to 2-2 as openers Jamie Smith and Ben Duckett were both out for a duck. But star batsman Root's 18th century in 168 ODI innings saw England win with seven balls to spare ahead of Tuesday's finale at the Oval, despite West Indies fast bowler Alzarri Joseph's fine return of 4-31 from his maximum 10 overs. Root received good support from Brook (47) in a stand of 85. Then Will Jacks (49) helped Root add 143 in 20 overs during a sixth-wicket partnership that took the hosts to the brink of victory. The West Indies were much-improved with both bat and ball following their humiliating 238-run loss at Edgbaston on Thursday. Despite the in-form Keacy Carty's 103, they were ultimately made to pay for not compiling a truly huge total when well-placed on 205-2 at Sophia Gardens. Brief scores Player-of-the-match: Joe Root (ENG) Series: England lead three-match series 2-0.
