The former captain's unbeaten 66 helped England seal a 3-0 Twenty20 series sweep against West Indies at Chelmsford on Monday but Knight looked in discomfort towards the end and did not field in the second innings. "An MRI scan has revealed that Heather Knight has suffered a significant tendon injury to her right hamstring and will be ruled out of home international cricket and The Hundred in 2025," the board said in a statement. "She will now undergo further assessment with the England women's medical team to determine the next steps of her management. "Although no return date can be set at this stage, it is hoped Heather will be available for selection for the ICC Women's World Cup in September 2025." The former England captain will miss the one-day series against West Indies and the tour of India in June and July.

Battling for eighth place and a slim chance of playing European football next season if Chelsea win the Conference League, Brighton went behind in the ninth minute when Harvey Elliott scored from close range after a superb Liverpool attack, but midfielder Yasin Ayari levelled in the 32nd minute. The hosts went in a goal down at the break after Dominik Szoboszlai scored with a dipping cross-shot that flew over keeper Bart Verbruggen and into the net in first-half stoppage time, but Brighton substitute Kaoru Mitoma equalised in the 69th minute, scoring off the rebound from a Danny Welbeck shot. Hinshelwood then grabbed the chance to be a hero, coming on in the 84th minute and firing home Matt O'Riley's pass a minute later to leave Brighton in eighth position on 58 points from 37 games, three ahead of Brentford and four in front of Fulham, with Bournemouth a point further back with a game in hand.
