At the same time, ECB said Sophie will be available for selection for England\u2019s upcoming white-ball series against India, starting on June 28 at Trent Bridge in Nottingham. \u201cSophie has been managing a quad niggle over the past week but more importantly she wants to take a step back from cricket for a short period to look after herself.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cWe're totally behind that. We want to be able to select Sophie for the India series but the most important thing for her at the moment is that she feels in a better place. We all agree that a break now could be beneficial for her to achieve that,\" said head coach Charlotte Edwards in a statement.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Sophie, 26, is the highest wicket-taker for England in Women\u2019s T20Is with 137 scalps and is also the top-ranked ODI bowler. But she was left out of England's squad for their ongoing white-ball series against the West Indies under new coach Charlotte due to her recovering from a knee injury.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
That injury had also resulted in her missing the beginning of Lancashire's domestic season. After the recovery, Sophie played two 50-over matches and six T20 games for her county side, but she was withdrawn from their match against Hampshire on Tuesday because of the quad problem.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
