England spinner Laura Marsh has announced her retirement from international cricket, calling time on a 13-year career.

The 33-year-old was part of the sides that won the 2009 and 2017 World Cups, the latter success coming on home soil, and the 2009 World T20.

The Kent star finishes her international career on 217 wickets, making her the most successful female spinner in the history of English cricket.

The ECB’s managing director for women’s cricket, Clare Connor, led the tributes, saying: "Laura has been a fantastic servant to English cricket and we're so grateful for everything she has contributed over a career spanning 13 years.

"Her record ranks amongst the very best bowlers in the history of our game but the stats are only one part of her impact.

"Not many cricketers in the world have won three World Cups, and these are wonderful memories that Laura takes into retirement with her.

"She's been the complete team player and a role model for England women's cricket and she will be missed."
