New Zealand pacer Molly Penfold is set to miss the upcoming series against Sri Lanka and Australia after being ruled out for the remainder of the season with a knee injury. 

She recently underwent surgery and the recovery will take upto 12 weeks. Penfold picked up the injury while warming up ahead of the Auckland Hearts Hallyburton Johnstone (HBJ) Shield fixture earlier this month.

"We're all gutted for Molly," New Zealand head coach Ben Sawyer said. 

"It's a really unfortunate way for her summer to end, especially after strong contributions during the Rose Bowl series. The positive is that her recovery timelines should see her fit for our winter training schedule."
