Birmingham, August 5: India women will face their England counterparts in the cricket semifinal of the Commonwealth Games 2022 on Saturday (August 6) at Edgbaston Cricket Ground.

But ahead of their semifinal clash, England suffered a massive jolt as their skipper Heather Knight was ruled out of the CWG 2022 as well as the Hundred with an injury.

“England Women's captain Heather Knight has been ruled out of the Commonwealth Games and The Hundred. The hip injury she sustained in the first T20I against South Africa has failed to settle down as expected and Knight will continue to receive treatment,” said England Cricket in a Tweet.

“Nat Sciver will remain Team England's captain in the Commonwealth Games. No replacement player can be named, so England will compete with a 14-person squad,” ECB added.

On the other hand, India have no injury worries and will be eager to exploit the chink in England’s armour. The good of opener Smriti Mandhana and Shafali Verma and the bowling form of Renuka Singh too will be a big boost for India.
