Heather Knight, England’s former women’s cricket captain and 2017 World Cup winner, announces she will retire from international cricket. Multiple outlets report she plans to end her England career at the close of the ongoing Rothesay Test match against India at Lord’s this week. The BBC, Sky Sports, Yahoo Sports, and other reports state Knight’s retirement comes alongside fellow batter Tammy Beaumont, who also is retiring at the end of the match. ESPN Cricinfo and The Guardian add context on Knight’s long career, noting she has made a record 320 appearances for England, and that the Lord’s Test is among the notable fixtures of her final stretch. The Guardian also reports that Knight’s final appearance coincides with England’s difficult position in the match during the early stages of play. Across the sources, there is agreement that the retirement is effective after the match concludes, with Knight stepping away from international cricket following this Test at Lord’s.
