England captain Charlotte Edwards has announced that she is retiring from international cricket.

The 36-year-old quits after a magnificent career and is undoubtedly one of the most important figures in the history of the women's game in England.

A prolific right-handed batsman, who also bowled leg breaks, Edwards was named the ICC women's cricketer of the year in 2008, was awarded the MBE in 2009, and became just the second woman to be honoured as one of Wisden's five cricketers of the year in 2014.
