New Delhi: Former England off-spinner Laura Marsh retired from all forms of cricket. The decision comes in after the postponement of the inaugural edition of Women’s Hundred this year which was pushed to 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
“I have made the decision to retire from all forms of cricket,” Marsh tweeted. “With the cancellation of The Hundred competition this year, I feel it is the right time to hang up the boots. I want to say a huge thank you to all the teams and organizations I have represented over the years,” she added.

Marsh was the member of the England squad that won the World Cups in 2009 and 2017. She made her international debut in 2006 both in T20Is and ODI against India. She started initially as a pacer before turning into an off-spinner. She retired from international cricket last December.
