An England statement said: "Katherine had an injury coming into the tournament. We've been attempting to manage her return to action.

"She left the field today because she was experiencing back pain. She will be reassessed in the morning upon arriving in St.Lucia."

After Saturday's opener against Sri Lanka, England, the reigning 50-over World Cup champions, will also play hosts Windies, South Africa and Bangladesh in Group A of a tournament they won in 2009.
