Knight to Retire After Lord's Test

Former England captain Heather Knight will retire from international cricket following this week's Lord's Test against India, her record 320th appearance for the team.

Knight, who has been a key figure in English cricket for many years, confirmed her retirement at the conclusion of the first women's Test match at Lord's. The announcement comes alongside teammate Tammy Beaumont's decision to step away from international cricket.

The match is proving challenging for England, who appear headed for defeat after a gruelling second day's play on Saturday. Knight expressed her privilege to have gone on the journey with the team, marking the end of an era for English women's cricket. capturengo.org
