England Women’s captain Nat Sciver-Brunt suffered a left calf muscle strain, in a similar location to her recent injury, while batting against Ireland Women in the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup group match in Southampton on Tuesday.
Following a scan on Wednesday and further assessment by the England medical team, she will be unavailable for the next two fixtures against Scotland and West Indies.
Sciver-Brunt will continue to be monitored and assessed by the England medical team as she undertakes her rehab while remaining in the squad.
Vice-captain Charlie Dean will lead the side on the field in Sciver-Brunt's absence during the next two matches.
