Beth Langston out for "foreseeable" with ruptured ACL

The medium pacer sustained the injury after losing her footing while bowling against Birmingham Phoenix in The Hundred

Beth Langston has been ruled out for the "foreseeable" after rupturing her ACL.

The medium pacer, who has made six appearances for England, sustained the injury after losing her footing while bowling her third set against Birmingham Phoenix during The Hundred. She finished that match with figures of 0 for 22 from 14 balls, with Hollie Armitage bowling the final ball of her set.

Langston made three appearances for the Superchargers during the 2022 edition of The Hundred but failed to pick up a wicket.

Her injury will be a blow to Northern Diamonds, who are set to resume their Rachael Heyhoe Flint Trophy campaign in September.

The two-time finalists are second in the table after four matches, one point behind table-toppers Southern Vipers. Although Langston has only contributed 13 runs in two appearances, her economy of 4.00 with the ball has been very handy.

Last season, she scored 141 runs at a strike rate of 130.55 and took 13 wickets in the 50-over competition.
