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.

Heather Knight ruled out of summer in huge blow for England ahead of World Cup
Former England captain Heather Knight will miss the remainder of the summer after suffering a severe hamstring injury in a huge blow for Charlotte Edwards ' side. Knight suffered the problem while compiling a half century as England completed a 3-0 sweep of the T20 international series against the West Indies at Chelmsford on Monday. Subsequent scans have revealed a 'significant tendon injury' that will sideline the 34-year-old for June, July and August, though it is hoped she will be fit for the Cricket World Cup, which begins at the end of September. Alice Capsey has been called up to England's one-day international squad ahead of three more white-ball encounters with the West Indies that begin in Derby on Friday. Knight lost the captaincy after a disastrous 16-0 Ashes whitewash in the winter but underlined her importance with two excellent knocks from No 4 in the T20 series. An unbeaten 43 in the successful chase at Canterbury was followed by her 66 not out in Chelmsford, with the former skipper leaving a significant hole in the middle order. "Her innings was pretty special to get us up to that total, being a competitive and winning score in the end," said captain Nat Sciver-Brunt, of Knight's knock. "That just shows her class and experience." England take on India later in the summer, while Knight will also miss The Hundred having captained the London Spirit to the title last year. Surrey all-rounder Alice Davidson-Richards and Lancashire opener Emma Lamb are among those who could press for a place alongside Capsey after being included in the ODI squad.

Knight hurt her troublesome hamstring while batting during the final match of the T20I series against the West Indies, and the team is still awaiting the scan results that will determine her availability for the 50-over matches. Capsey gets a call-up to the ODI squad after she featured in all three of the T20I contests, though the 20-year-old was used sparingly in those matches, managing just four runs and not given the chance with the ball. Pacer Lauren Filer has also been added to the ODI squad to take on the West Indies after recovering from a knee injury. Filer hasn't played at the international level since she featured against Australia at the start of the year, with the right-armer in contention to take on the West Indies in what will be a vital preparation for this year's ICC Women's Cricket World Cup in India. England take on the West Indies in three ODIs and host India in another three 50-over contests towards the end of next month, with both series being to finalise plans for the 50-over World Cup, according to new coach Charlotte Edwards. 'I feel these games are really big for us,' Edwards said, as quoted from ICC. 'We've got nine games before the World Cup starts, so a lot of this is about us getting the right balance of team,' she added.
