“Playing for England and getting to wear the shirt for so long has been a dream come true and I have been blessed with so many great moments throughout my career. From making my debut in 2006, to Ashes wins, and of course,ཧ the World Cup final a✤t Lord’s, to name just a few.

“I’ve also been blessed with travelling the world and making lifelong friends along the way. To be right in the thick of women’s cricket as it’s gone from strength to strength – not only in England, but across the wꦡorld – has been an amazing experience, and I can look back on what women’s cricket has achi♑eved with great pride at playing some small part in it.

Before 🥂signing off, the great cricketer heaped praises on her team saying how proud she is of her team and how they've been an inspiration to m🃏any.

“The England girls are role models on and off the field, and they have undoubtedly inspired – and will continue to inspire – so many young people to take up the game, girls and boys. I c🌊an’t wait to see the heights that this team can reach. I am extremely proud of my career. I leave with my head held high and with excitement for what my future holds and what my next chapter brings.”
