Tammy Beaumont made her T20 and ODI debuts in 2009. England batter Tammy Beaumont has announced her retirement from international cricket. The 35-year-old will retire after England's upcoming Test match against India which starts on Friday, having made her debut in 2009.

She has played 11 Tests, 140 one-day internationals and 109 T20s and her 12 ODI hundreds are an England women's record. Beaumont is one of only two English women, alongside former captain Heather Knight, to score an international century in all three formats.

"Playing for England for nearly 17 years has been the greatest honour," said Beaumont. "When I fell in love with playing cricket as a young girl, I barely knew that playing cricket for England was an option and it brings me so much joy to think how many girls and boys have been inspired, this summer especially, and how far the game has come in our country.

"We've always wanted to take the cap forward for the next generation and the time has come for me to hand over that privilege to the next generation of England players. This Test match at Lord's – our first-ever women's Test at Lord's – feels like the perfect occasion to sign off on a career that I could never have dreamt would be as special as it has been."

Beaumont also confirmed that she will continue playing domestic cricket. She currently plays for The Blaze and Birmingham Phoenix in The Hundred.

Beaumont was among the first group of England women's players to receive a central contract when they were introduced in 2014, and was player of the tournament when England won the World Cup at Lord's three years later. She also became the first English woman to score a Test match double-century, with 208 against Australia at Trent Bridge in the 2023 Ashes series.

Since being promoted to open the batting in 2016, Beaumont was a regular in England's top order across formats until she lost her place in the Commonwealth Games squad in 2022. She has been in and out of the side in the T20 format ever since. She did not feature in this summer's T20 World Cup, and was also dropped from the ODI squad for the series against New Zealand at the start of the season.

"Tammy has made a remarkable contribution to the England Women's cricket team and we will miss her incredibly," said Clare Connor, Managing Director of England Women. "It is impossible to put into words or measure the impact Tammy has had on our sport. She played her first few years for England as an amateur, one of only a few players left whose international careers were forged through extraordinary levels of devotion and commitment and love of the game.

"Always smiling, always fun, and always team-first, Tammy should be so proud of a stellar international career and we wish her every success and happiness as she leaves the England dressing room."

In 2013, the Women's World Cup was barely an afterthought. Played only in Mumbai, often on tiny grounds. At one England game, in a group of travelling supporters, a lady explained that she was Tammy Beaumont's mum. Beaumont, then only 21, did not play a game in a disappointing England campaign. Her international career was at risk of tailing off.

Four years later, women's cricket hit the big time and Beaumont was at the vanguard. After having life breathed into her batting by the arrival of Mark Robinson as England coach, Beaumont was a star of the 2017 World Cup. What bigger honour can there be than being named player of the tournament in a home World Cup triumph?

Beaumont will go down as a great of English women's cricket, not only for her runs, but for her longevity as the game moved into the professional era. One of a handful of players, man or woman, to make centuries in all three formats for England, another career high would come with a double hundred in a home Ashes Test in 2023.

Perhaps the writing was on the wall when Beaumont was left out of the one-day squad earlier this summer, but she will get a fitting farewell in the first women's Test at Lord's. Don't rule out one more big score.
