Injury on the mend as Knight eyes upcoming 50-over World Cup ICC Women's Cricket World Cup, 2025
'Things are tracking pretty well to hopefully be fit for that (World Cup). It's healing well.We're not gonna rush things. It's a pretty gnarly injury: I ripped off the tendon quite well from the bone, so I have to be a little bit careful coming back," Knight added.
The injury comes on the back off a difficult period for Knight who was stripped of her captaincy after being at the helm for nine years in the wake of an Ashes humiliation in Australia.
The long-term injury then struck in the early weeks of a new chapter under head coach Charlotte Edwards, adding to an already difficult period in her career.
'The Ashes was pretty tough; I was sad that things had ended like that but the ECB decided they wanted me to have a fresh start and that was their decision and completely fine,' she said of England captaincy, which has now been take over by Nat Sciver-Brunt.
'I'm still very motivated to keep playing for England.'
