Former England captain Heather Knight announces retirement from international cricket | Cricket News
Heather Knight will retire from international cricket after the Rothesay Test match between England and India at Lord’s this week.
Since making her debut in 2010, Knight would go on to win 320 caps for England, becoming England Women’s leading all-time appearance-maker.
Knight, 35, also most notably captained England to ICC Women’s World Cup glory in 2017, having also scored a whopping 7,988 international runs in her career.
“I’m extremely grateful and privileged to have gone on the journey that I have been on as an England cricketer,” Knight said.
“It’s hard to walk away because the dressing room and the people in the dressing room have been a constant in my life for 16 years, and the memories and the experiences and the people have helped shape me become who I am today, but I’m really content with this decision and I’m really excited for what’s next.”
