England women's cricket team captain Heather Knight has undergone a hip surgery which will rule her out of the limited-overs series against India in September and the Women's Big Bash League (WBBL) in Australia.

On Friday, the 31-year-old Knight posted an image on social media showing her in good spirits following the surgery, and wrote: "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!"
