Watch the best shots from Knight’s 66 not out against West Indies in the third and final T20 international, which she scored despite batting a hamstring problem
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.
England have also added fast bowler Lauren Filer to their squad with the 24-year-old now over a knee injury.

England fast bowler Lauren Filer took two quick wickets in an ODI against South Africa late last year
Filer’s last appearance for her country came in the Women’s Ashes Test at the MCG in January, a game in which she took two wickets.
