Heather Knight will miss the Commonwealth Games playoffs

The England women’s club had an excellent cluster stage of the Commonwealth Games – the club took first stance in Group B, ahead of New Zealand, South Africa and Sri Lanka. But before the start of the relegation stage, English fans received an unpleasant announcement: Heather Knight will miss the Commonwealth Games playoffs because of the trauma.

This was reported by the press service of the England national club:

“The English chief, Heather Knight, has been excluded from the club for the Commonwealth Games contest. She continues to recover from the damage: she is going through a full rehabilitation stage.”

Recall that Heather Knight suffered a hip injury in the first T20 contest against South Africa. Initially, it was stated that the damage was not too severe, but Knight still did not recover.

Now the position of leader will be taken by Nat Sciver.

It should be noted that after the determination of the group stage, England is specified as the main favorite of the Commonwealth Games.
