England spinner Danielle Hazell has been ruled out of the remainder of the Women's World Twenty20, with Laura Marsh replacing her in the squad.

Hazell strained her calf during a training session in Dharamsala on Monday and will return home for rehabilitation.

Marsh, the 29-year-old Kent all-rounder, will link up with the squad in Chennai ahead of the final group game against Pakistan on March 27.

Head coach Mark Robinson said: "This is obviously very disappointing news for Danielle.

"She was an important component of the bowling attack, especially given her excellent current form and the conditions here in India, but we are fortunate to have such a talented and experienced replacement in Laura Marsh.

"We are looking forward to welcoming Laura into the squad later in the week."
