Knight, 35, also most notably captained England to ICC Women's World Cup glory in 2017, having also scored a whopping 7,988 international runs in her career.

"I'm extremely grateful and privileged to have gone on the journey that I have been on as an England cricketer," Knight said.

"It's hard to walk away because the dressing room and the people in the dressing room have been a constant in my life for 16 years, and the memories and the experiences and the people have helped shape me become who I am today, but I'm really content with this decision and I'm really excited for what's next."
