While reflecting on Edwards' departure, a Mumbai Indians spokesperson said, "Charlotte Edwards has been a leader for whom the entire #OneFamily has enormous admiration, appreciation and respect.

We wish her all the very best and are grateful for everything she has brought to our team over the past three years."

Edwards is a former England captain who represented her country over 300 times, winning two World Cups and lifting the Ashes five times across a 20-year playing career. With 10,273 runs in 309 international matches with 13 centuries, she is one of the most decorated international batters ever.

Since retiring from playing in 2017, Edwards has coached across English domestic cricket and global T20 leagues, enjoying success with Southern Vipers in regional cricket, Southern Brave in The Hundred, Sydney Sixers in the Women's Big Bash League and Mumbai Indians in the Women's Premier League.

As Edwards begins a new chapter in her life, "Mumbai Indians wish Charlotte Edwards all the very best in her new role with the England Women's team and the #OneFamily will continue to cheer for one of the greats of the game." (ANI)
