England batsman Tammy Beaumont has announced her retirement from international cricket.
The 35-year-old will retire after England’s next Test match against India which begins on Friday and is the first women’s Test to be played at Lord’s.
Beaumont made his international debut in 2009 and has played 11 Tests, 140 one-day internationals and 109 T20s.
Her 12 ODI hundreds are an England women’s record and she is one of only two English women, along with former captain Heather Knight, to score an international century in all three formats.
“Playing for England for almost 17 years has been the greatest honour,” Beaumont said.
“When I fell in love with playing cricket as a child, I barely knew that playing cricket for England was an option and it makes me so happy to think how many girls and boys have been inspired, especially this summer, and how far the game has come in our country.
“We have always wanted to take the title to the next generation and the time has come to hand that privilege to the next generation of England players.
“This Test match at Lord’s, our first women’s Test at Lord’s, seems like the perfect occasion to close a career that I would never have dreamed would be as special as it has been.”
Beaumont also confirmed that he will continue to play domestic cricket. He currently plays for The Blaze and Birmingham Phoenix in The Hundred.
