London: Former England captain Heather Knight has been ruled out of home international cricket and The Hundred in 2025 after she suffered a “significant tendon injury” in her right hamstring during her match-winning innings against West Indies last week.
She scored an unbeaten 66 off 47 balls in the third T20I at Chelmsford on Monday, helping the side to secure a 3-0 series sweep. However, she was visibly affected by a hamstring injury during the latter part of her innings and did not return to the field for the second half of the match.
As a result, she has been ruled out for the remainder of the international summer, which includes this week’s ODI series against West Indies, the home series against India in June and July, and the Women’s Hundred in August.
“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 England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) said in a statement. IANS
