Tammy Beaumont to retire from internationals after India Test
The 35-year-old England opener will call time on her international career following the one-off women's Test against India at Lord's on July 10.
Tammy Beaumont will retire from international cricket after the one-off women's Test against India at Lord's on July 10. The 35-year-old opener, who debuted in 2009, has chosen the historic first women's Test at the venue as her final match.
Beaumont's 15-year England career spans all three formats. She'll be replaced in the opening position, though the ECB hasn't named a successor yet.
CricHubb Take
Beaumont's timing is pointed — she gets to bow out in a Test, the format England has barely played, while younger openers are waiting in the wings. The real question isn't who replaces her. It's whether England's next opener gets the same runway Beaumont had, or if the acceleration of women's Test cricket forces a faster churn.
