Katherine Brunt misses rest of England's South Africa tour
Saturday 13 February 2016 16:28, UK
Katherine Brunt has been ruled out of the rest of England women's tour of South Africa.
The Yorkshire fast bowler suffered a back spasm on Friday and was only able to bowl five overs during the second one-day international defeat.
Brunt will miss Sunday's decider and the following three Twenty20 matches.
The 30-year-old will return home next week but is expected to be available for selection for the ICC Women's World wenty20 in India next month.
Kent left-arm seamer Natasha Farrant has been called up as Brunt's replacement and will arrive on Sunday in time for the first T20 match on February 18.
Brunt is stranded on 99 ODI wickets after she failed to add to her tally in either Friday's five-wicket defeat or England's opening win.
Surrey all-rounder Natalie Sciver will also join up with the England squad ahead of the T20 opener in Paarl after recovering from an ankle injury which had ruled her out of the ODI series.
