Sarah Glenn has been ruled out of the remainder of England's ODI series against New Zealand due to concussion.

The spinner sustained the injury while fielding in the third T20I in Nelson, banging her head on the ground as she attempted to take a catch at mid-off.

She went on to dismiss Suzie Bates in what would prove to be her only over with the ball before leaving the field. Hollie Armitage replaced her as a concussion substitute.

Adhering to the ECB's return-to-play protocols, Glenn was initially ruled out for at least four matches, including the first two matches of the three-match ODI series.

However, an ECB statement has now confirmed she "will not be fit in time to complete her full return to play by the final match of the series".

A replacement will not be added to the squad.

England currently lead the ODI series 1-0 after completing a four-wicket win on March 31. The second and third ODIs will take place in Hamilton on April 3 and 6, respectively.
