England Women's captain Heather Knight has been ruled out of the Commonwealth Games and The Hundred with a hip injury. The injury, picked up in the first T20 international of the three-match series against South Africa earlier this month, has failed to settle down.

Knight missed the final two T20s of England's series sweep of South Africa, as well as their opening two wins of the Commonwealth Games against Sri Lanka and the Proteas again.

Nat Sciver, who has served as stand-in skipper in Knight's absence, will continue to captain the team at the Commonwealth Games.

No replacement player can be named, so England will compete with a 14-person squad. Knight will stay with the team for the remainder of the tournament as she continues to receive treatment.
