England Spinner Sophie Ecclestone Takes Break from Domestic Cricket for Injury Recovery

News summary

England's top-ranked ODI bowler, Sophie Ecclestone, is taking a short break from domestic cricket to manage a recurring quad injury and prioritize her mental and physical wellbeing. Despite missing some matches for Lancashire due to this injury, Ecclestone remains available for England's upcoming white-ball series against India starting June 28. England women's head coach Charlotte Edwards fully supports Ecclestone's decision, emphasizing the importance of her recovery and mental health ahead of the 50-over World Cup in September. Ecclestone had previously been sidelined for two months recovering from a knee injury sustained after playing in India's Women's Premier League earlier this year. Her absence from England's recent West Indies series was solely due to injury management and unrelated to any off-field controversies. England have performed well in Ecclestone's absence but anticipate a tougher challenge against India, making her fitness for the upcoming series crucial.
