England women's World Cup hero Anya Shrubsole retires from international cricket

Double World Cup winner Anya Shrubsole has called time on her international career following England 's latest defeat to Australia.

The medium pace inswinger couldn’t quite repeat the magic of 2017 in the most recent World Cup final at the start of this month, although she was the outstanding English bowler once more. The 30-year-old’s 173rd and final game for England saw the Aussies capture the 50 over World Cup in Christchurch as she claimed 3-46 in the 71-run loss.

But Shrubsole will forever be remembered as the heroine of Lord’s nearly five years ago when she took 6-46 in a dramatic final against India when all had seemed lost.
