The right-armed bowler has called time on her international career, after spending 14 years in the England setup, including being part of the World Cup-winning squad in 2017.
The 30-year-old joined the England setup aged just 16 and quickly became a pivotal part of a hugely successful side.
āI feel immensely privileged to have been able to represent my country for the past 14 years."
