After suffering an injury during training, Paige Scholfield will depart England's South Africa tour before it starts. Scholfield injured her ankle during Tuesday's training session, and after additional evaluation on Wednesday morning, she left the T20I team to head back to the UK and start her recovery.
She was one of two changes made to England's T20I squad, which lost in the group stages of the World Cup last month. She was brought in to give the middle order more firepower, while all-rounder Dani Gibson was ruled out following knee surgery and batter Alice Capsey was left out due to a decline in form. Lauren Filer, a fast bowler who missed the World Cup, was also included.
With 259 runs at an average of 43.16 and a strike rate of 140.00, including a best score of 73 not out, Scholfield finished as the fifth-highest run scorer in this year's Charlotte Edwards Cup T20 competition. As a member of the Oval Invincibles, she also amassed 190 runs in the Women's Hundred, hitting 137.68 with a highest score of 71 off 40 balls.
