England off-spinner, announced her retirement from international cricket. The 33-year-old, who played for England for close to 13 years, made her debut versus India in August 2006.  She was also famously a part of three World Cup-winning teams, lifting the ICC Women’s World Cup in 2009 and 2017, and the ICC Women’s World Twenty20 trophy at Lord’s,  in 2009, just three months after lifting the 50-over trophy at the Sydney Cricket Ground. Marsh also was part of England's successful Ashes campaigns in 2008 and 2009. Marsh, is the most successful spinner in the history of English women's cricket and third-highest wicket-taker in ODIs.

"Her record ranks amongst the very best bowlers in the history of our game but the stats are only one part of her impact," Clare Connor, the ECB's Managing Director, Women's Cricket. "She'll be remembered by those who have played with her and worked with her for her kindness, her loyalty and her relentless desire to improve.''said Connor. "Not many cricketers in the world have won three World Cups, and these are wonderful memories that Laura takes into retirement with her. She's been the complete team player and a role model for England women's cricket and she will be missed," added Connor.
