Lauren Bell has been ruled out of the remainder of England's white-ball series against Sri Lanka.

The 22-year-old quick is recovering from an illness which ruled her out of the first two T20Is.

Since making her international debut in June 2022, Bell has earned 12 T20I caps for England, taking 16 wickets with an economy of 6.85.

In ODI cricket, she has 14 wickets with an economy of 6.29 in eight appearances.

She had been in wicket-taking form heading into the series, taking nine wickets in seven matches during Southern Brave's Women's Hundred-winning campaign.

England will face Sri Lanka in the final T20I in Derby on September 6 before contesting a three-match ODI series between September 9-14.

Heather Knight's side won the first T20I in Hove by 12 runs (DLS), piling on 186 runs in just 17 overs, but were convincingly beaten in Chelmsford 48 hours later, slumping to 104 all out in the face of Sri Lanka's spinners before Chamari Athapaththu powered her side to an eight-wicket win with 40 balls to spare.
