Progressing through rehabilitation without surgery, she will attend Euro 2025 in Switzerland before resuming her World Cup preparations.

Overview

  • Knight suffered a significant hamstring tendon tear in last month’s T20 series against the West Indies and has progressed without requiring surgery.
  • She missed subsequent ODIs and London Spirit’s Hundred matches and is now on a tailored rehabilitation program aimed at restoring fitness by early September.
