Surgery
I've had a little clean out of my hip to get me back and running soon. Unfortunately it rules me out of the India series and the WBBL, but I'm aiming to be back by the end of the year . Time to make the most of a bit of time away and bring on the rehab! pic.twitter.com/4Mcwjs2nwN

Sciver is expected to lead England for the India series - three T20Is and three ODIs, to be played between September 10 and September 24.
Though Knight picked up the injury during the first T20I of the bilateral series against South Africa on July 21, she had initially been named in England's CWG 2022 squad, as captain. But after England's first two games, which she sat out, the team management said that the injury had "failed to settle down as expected."
Knight had injections in her hip joint while sitting out the last two matches of the South Africa series in an effort to recover, but Sciver said after England's first two CWG 2022 games, "She's not in a good place. She's better than she has been in the last few days, still in a bit of pain with her hip."
No replacement was named for Knight, and she stayed on with the squad for the duration of the event - cricket at CWG 2022 ended on August 7. More recently, before the surgery, Knight was a part of the BBC broadcasters' panel for the Hundred.
India play three T20Is in England on September 10, 13 and 15, followed by three ODIs - part of the ICC Women's Championship - on September 18, 21 and 24.

"Duanne presented with significant discomfort involving his right hip flexor muscle at the close of play on day three of the four-day tour match," team doctor Hashendra Ramjee said. "After clinical assessment, he was referred for an MRI scan which revealed a grade 2 tear involving the right pectineus muscle.
"Due to the extent of the injury, he has been ruled out of the three-match Test series against England and will return home where he will commence his rehabilitation with the Gauteng Central Lions medical team."
Olivier was the best of the South African quick bowlers in the tour game, sending down 13 overs for returns of 2 for 59, even as the Lions put up 672 in their only outing with the bat.
The first Test will be played at Lord's from August 17, and will be followed by the second and third Tests, at Old Trafford (from August 25) and at The Oval (from September 8).

The three-match series against India is scheduled to begin on August 18 in Harare and is a part of the ODI World Cup Super League.
Squad : Ryan Burl, Regis Chakabva (capt), Tanaka Chivanga, Bradley Evans, Luke Jongwe, Innocent Kaia, Takudzwanashe Kaitano, Clive Madande (wk), Wessly Madhevere, Tadiwanashe Marumani, John Masara, Tony Munyonga, Richard Ngarava, Victor Nyauchi, Sikandar, Raza, Milton Shumba, Donald Tiripano
Babar Azam continues to be in charge of both the set-ups, with Shadab Khan as his deputy.
Hasan's form across formats in the last year has been middling at best, with his T20I bowling strike rate moving to 23.2; he has picked up eight wickets in nine games in this period. In the three ODIs he has played in the last 12 months - all at home between March and June this year - he averaged 76.50 with the ball, picking up two wickets overall. Earlier this year, in the PSL, he had a bowling average of 40.55 and had an economy rate of 10.84 as he got nine wickets in nine games for Islamabad United.
"So we had a similar thought process with Hasan Ali, to give him an extended run, but now we think he needs to regather himself and return as a match-winner. We hope going forward we will find the same old Hasan Ali."
It has been a downward spiral for Hasan since last year's T20 World Cup, where he dropped a catch that could, potentially, have won Pakistan the semi-final against Australia. He ended the tournament with five wicket in six bowling innings, at an average of 41.40 and an economy rate of 9.00.
Naseem, who has never played ODIs or T20Is, has taken Hasan's place after a good performance in the two Tests in Sri Lanka last month, when he picked up seven wickets on not-very-helpful pitches. Naseem had struggled with fitness issues till recently, but has come back stronger.
"Naseem Shah is a quality bowler, and we have seen him in domestic white-ball cricket," Wasim said. "He has got express pace and we wanted to include an attacking option; it is important to take wickets in white0ball cricket. He has that ability. He can swing the ball, he has got pace, and if we talk about his temperament, we have seen the evidence in Tests.
"He was a good replacement for Hasan Ali, and we hope he can take his success from red-ball to white-ball cricket."
The selected players will assemble in Lahore on August 6 for a six-day training camp. The ODI side will leave for Amsterdam in the wee hours of August 12 for the three-ODI series - the matches are on August 16, 18 and 21, all in Rotterdam - and the T20I specialists will reach Dubai on August 22, where they will be joined by the T20I members of the ODI squad.
