England batter Tammy Beaumont will retire from international cricket after the one-off women's Test against India at Lord's. The decision ends a 17-year career that included 260 appearances across formats.
Beaumont is England's leading century-maker in women's international cricket. She made the announcement ahead of the Test, which concludes her time in the national setup. The match is scheduled later this month.
Beaumont has been a consistent opener for England since her debut in 2009. Her retirement leaves a gap in the top order for the side.
