Alice Capsey has been called up to England’s one-day international squad to face West Indies as cover for Heather Knight.
Knight suffered a hamstring issue while scoring 66 not out in England’s victory over West Indies in the third and final T20 international at Chelmsford on Monday and will be assessed.
The three-match ODI series begins in Derby on Friday (1pm) before further games in Leicester on Wednesday June 4 and Taunton on Saturday June 7, all live on Sky Sports.

Knight – who was removed as captain after the 16-0 Ashes thrashing in Australia over the winter but remains a key member of the batting line-up – did not field in Monday’s match against West Indies as England secured a 3-0 series sweep.
Spin-bowling all-rounder Capsey played in each of the three T20 internationals but did not bowl and only got a bat in the final match, scoring four from eight balls.
The 20-year-old has played 23 ODIs for England, batting 17 times and recording a top score of 44.
Capsey has been in strong 50-over form for county Surrey so far this season, scoring 317 runs in seven matches at an average of 45.28 with a century – a knock of 125 from 96 balls against The Blaze – and two further fifties.
