English wicket-keeper Sarah Taylor called it quits to international cricket after he mentally health took a serious dent. Her anxiety issues have hampered her talent as a wicket-keeper cum batsman. The game was more off a stress dose for Taylor rather than enjoyment.

“Playing for England and getting to wear the shirt for so long has been a dream come true and I have been blessed with so many great moments throughout my career. From making my debut in 2006 to Ashes wins, and of course, the World Cup final at Lord’s, to name just a few,” she further added.
Sarah Taylor made her debut in 2006 and amassed 6,553 International runs in her 13-year long career, which makes her the second most successful female cricketer for England.
