Former England captain Heather Knight will retire from international cricket at the end of the one-off women's Test against India at Lord's. The 35-year-old has made a record 320 appearances for England and captained the side on 199 occasions.
India secured a 270-run victory in the historic first women's Test at Lord's. Yastika Bhatia scored a century and Kranti Gaud delivered a strong bowling display in the win.
Knight confirmed the retirement alongside Tammy Beaumont stepping down. The BCCI congratulated the Indian women's team on the landmark achievement.
