LONDON (Reuters) -England batter Heather Knight was ruled out of their home summer programme due to a hamstring injury on Thursday but the country's cricket board hoped she would return in time for the 50-overs World Cup in India in September.

The former captain's unbeaten 66 helped England seal a 3-0 Twenty20 series sweep against West Indies at Chelmsford on Monday but Knight looked in discomfort towards the end and did not field in the second innings.
