England pacer Katherine Brunt announces retirement from Test cricket
Katherine Brunt on Saturday announced her retirement from Test cricket, calling time on a career that spanned 17 years. The 36-year-old seamer will continue to play in the shorter formats of the game. Brunt made her Test debut in 2004, and was part of an influential moment for English cricket in just her third Test match - bagging nine wickets across the match and smashing 52 to help her team to retain the Women's Ashes after 42 years. Brunt claimed it was a 'smart' decision to retire from the game in order to prolong her white-ball career.
