Kate Cross retires from professional cricket at end of season

England seamer Kate Cross will retire from professional cricket at the end of the current English summer. The 34-year-old Lancashire bowler made her England debut in October 2013 and finished with 102 international caps.

Cross took 140 wickets across Tests, ODIs and T20Is during a 13-year career at the top level. She remained with Lancashire for two decades before deciding to step away.

The announcement ends a career that began with her debut against the West Indies and included participation in two World Cup-winning squads.
