Jenny Gunn retires from England duty after a 15-year international career

The 33-year-old won the T20 and 50-over World Cup with her country and took 240 wickets and scored 2,702 runs across all formats

England women's second-highest appearance-maker Jenny Gunn has confirmed her retirement from the international game.

The 33-year-old made 259 outings for her country since her debut in 2004 - only Charlotte Edwards has made more - and was the first England player of any gender to make a century of T20I appearances

Daughter of Nottingham Forest European Cup winner Bryn Gunn and a multiple Ashes winner, she was part of the squads which won the World T20 in 2009 and two 50-over World Cups, including on home soil in 2017.

Additionally, Gunn took 240 wickets and scored 2,702 runs across all formats and will now focus purely on her domestic career.

"I have made one of the hardest decisions and decided the time has come to retire from international cricket," she said. "I started as a young kid playing the game I loved for fun and I could only dream of becoming a professional cricketer.

"I’ve been lucky enough to play in some great teams and to be part of some amazing battles over the years but as a small girl I always said I wanted to put a World Cup medal next to my dad's European Cup winner's medal, and there are now three of them next to his medal on the mantelpiece!

"I’m so grateful for the support throughout my career and I couldn’t have done it without my friends. But most of all, I couldn't have done it without my family, all of whom have been there for me every step of the way."

Managing director of women's cricket Clare Connor added: "Jenny has been the most tremendous servant to England women's cricket throughout the 15 years she has played for England.

"Her longevity, work ethic and commitment have been hugely impressive across both the amateur and professional eras and on countless occasions, she has delivered match-winning performances for the team with both bat and ball.

"Jenny has been an exceptional role model for our sport and we are so grateful for everything she has done. Very few international cricketers have carried themselves with so much humility and shown such care for her team-mates as Jenny. She will be very missed by players and staff alike."
