Former captain Heather Knight has been named in England Women’s 15-strong squad for the ICC Women’s World Cup in India and Sri Lanka.

The 34-year-old suffered a significant hamstring tendon issue suffered during May’s T20 clean sweep against the West Indies, ruling her out of England’s summer and The Hundred.

Knight has yet to return to competitive action but continues her recovery and is hopeful of being fit in time for the tournament, running from September 30-November 2 and live on Sky Sports.

Sarah Glenn is one of four specialist spinners in the squad and one of six players embarking on their first ODI World Cup, with the 25-year-old returning to the ODI squad after missing out against India in the summer.

Danni Wyatt-Hodge also returns, having last featured for England in the 50-over format during their 16-0 Ashes defeat in Australia, but Kate Cross has been left out of the squad.

This year’s World Cup will be the first ICC tournament for Charlotte Edwards as head coach and Nat Sciver-Brunt as captain.

Shedeur Sanders was asked Tuesday about the "entertainers" and "competitors" quote fellow Cleveland Browns rookie quarterback Dillon Gabriel dropped last Saturday during a preseason game against the Philadelphia Eagles.A lighthearted Sanders explained that Gabriel's comment didn't faze him.

It is what it is. I spoke with him. He told me on the plane. He came up to me and was like, ‘Nah, bro, that […]
