In a significant setback, West Indies captain Hayley Matthews has been ruled out of the third and final ODI against England due to a shoulder injury sustained during the first match of the series. She had also missed the second ODI due to the same issue. The shoulder injury occurred while Healy was fielding in the opening ODI in Derby.

"It's unfortunate Hayley's picked up an injury and she won't be available for the last ODI here in England. She's played a lot of cricket over the past few years and obviously injuries are part of being an elite level athlete in all sports,” West Indies head coach, Shane Deitz, said as quoted in a West Indies Cricket release. 

"We will miss her greatly on and off the field, but there's a great opportunity for other players to step up as Realeanna Grimmond did in the second ODI. She stepped up in Hayley's role and played a great innings so it's a great opportunity for other players to be able to fill the void that Hayley leaves with bat and ball and leadership on the field.

"The medical team are looking at options now for what's best for her long-term future to get her body 100 percent right and continue her fantastic career."

England are currently leading the three-match series 2-0 after West Indies lost the first game by 108 runs and the second game by 143 runs.
