Knight - who was removed as captain after the 16-0 Ashes thrashing in Australia over the winter but remains a key member of the batting line-up - did not field in Monday's match against West Indies as England secured a 3-0 series sweep.
Spin-bowling all-rounder Capsey played in each of the three T20 internationals but did not bowl and only got a bat in the final match, scoring four from eight balls.
The 20-year-old has played 23 ODIs for England, batting 17 times and recording a top score of 44.
Capsey has been in strong 50-over form for county Surrey so far this season, scoring 317 runs in seven matches at an average of 45.28 with a century - a knock of 125 from 96 balls against The Blaze - and two further fifties.
England have also added fast bowler Lauren Filer to their squad with the 24-year-old now over a knee injury.
Filer's last appearance for her country came in the Women's Ashes Test at the MCG in January, a game in which she took two wickets.
Revised England ODI squad to face West Indies: Nat Sciver-Brunt (captain), Emily Arlott, Tammy Beaumont, Lauren Bell, Alice Capsey, Kate Cross, Alice Davidson-Richards, Charlie Dean, Sophia Dunkley, Lauren Filer, Mahika Gaur, Sarah Glenn, Amy Jones, Heather Knight, Emma Lamb, Linsey Smith
