Former England captain Heather Knight has suffered a significant right hamstring tendon injury.

The injury occurred during the  3rd T20I against West Indies,  ruling her out for the rest of  the 2025 international summer.

Knight was England's standout batter in the West Indies series, contributing significantly to  their 3-0 T20I sweep.

She will miss the remaining  West Indies series, The Hundred, and the upcoming high-profile  India series.

England's medical staff continues  to monitor her progress, but no definitive timeline for her return  has been set yet.

It is hoped that Knight could recover in time for the  ICC Women's World Cup in September 2025.

Her absence is a significant  setback for England, which is currently undergoing a transition phase.

Knight’s injury might also affect England’s preparations and  strategy for the 2025 World Cup.
