Tammy Beaumont has announced her retirement from international cricket following the Rothesay Test match against India, marking a significant moment in her illustrious career.

Since her debut in 2009, Beaumont has made 260 appearances for England, becoming the leading ODI centurion with 12 hundreds. Notably, she was named player of the tournament when England lifted the ICC Women's World Cup on home soil in 2017, where she finished as the top scorer with 410 runs.

Beaumont has achieved remarkable milestones throughout her career:

• One of only two English women to score an international hundred in all three formats.
• The first English woman to score a Test double-century, with a memorable 208 at Trent Bridge during the 2023 Women's Ashes.

Reflecting on her journey, Beaumont expressed, "Playing for England for nearly 17 years has been the greatest honour. It brings me so much joy to think how many girls and boys have been inspired, this summer especially."

She emphasized the significance of the Test match at Lord's, stating it feels like the perfect occasion to conclude her career. Beaumont will continue to play domestically for The Blaze and Birmingham Phoenix in The Hundred.

Clare Connor, managing director of England Women, praised Beaumont's contributions, saying, "It is impossible to put into words or measure the impact Tammy has had on our sport. She should be so proud of a stellar international career."

As she steps away from international play, Beaumont leaves behind a legacy that has inspired countless young cricketers and transformed the landscape of women's cricket in England.
