England batter Tammy Beaumont has announced her retirement from international cricket.

The 35-year-old will retire after England’s upcoming Test match against India which starts on Friday, which is the first women’s Test to be played at Lord’s.

Beaumont made her 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, alongside former captain Heather Knight, to score an international century in all three formats.

“Playing for England for nearly 17 years has been the greatest honour,” said Beaumont.

“When I fell in love with playing cricket as a young girl, I barely knew that playing cricket for England was an option and it brings me so much joy to think how many girls and boys have been inspired, this summer especially, and how far the game has come in our country.

“We’ve always wanted to take the cap forward for the next generation and the time has come for me to hand over that privilege to the next generation of England players.

“This Test match at Lord’s – our first-ever women’s Test at Lord’s – feels like the perfect occasion to sign off on a career that I could never have dreamt would be as special as it has been.”

Beaumont also confirmed that she will continue playing domestic cricket. She currently plays for The Blaze and Birmingham Phoenix in The Hundred.
