A Career of Records and Triumphs

Born on March 11, 1991, Tammy Beaumont, aged 35, has been a cornerstone of England's success, particularly in white-ball cricket, while also leaving her mark in the Test arena. She was a pivotal member of the England squad that triumphed in the 2017 Women's Cricket World Cup, where she was also crowned Player of the Tournament, amassing 410 runs. Her record-breaking 208 against Australia in the 2023 Women's Ashes series made her the first English woman to score a Test double century, an innings that also stands as the highest individual score by an English woman in Test cricket, surpassing a record held since 1935 by Betty Snowball.

Beaumont's career statistics reflect her consistent performance across formats:

Tests (11 matches): 612 runs at an average of 34.00, including 1 double century and 2 half-centuries. Her highest score is 208.

ODIs (140 matches): 4738 runs at an average of 40.49, with 12 centuries and a top score of 168*. She is second on the list of most international centuries for England women.

T20Is (109 matches): 1975 runs at an average of 24.08, featuring 1 century and a highest score of 116.

Beyond international cricket, she also made history in The Hundred, becoming the first woman to score a century in the competition with an unbeaten 118 for Welsh Fire in August 2023. ‘Back to Normal Here’, Jofra Archer Take IPL Dig After India’s Batting Collpase in IND vs ENG 3rd T20I 2026 (Watch Video).

The Farewell Match: England vs India One-Off Test

Beaumont's final international outing is set to be a memorable one at the iconic Lord's Cricket Ground. The Rothesay Women's Test Match between England Women and India Women is scheduled to run from Friday, July 10, 2026, to Monday, July 13, 2026. Play is expected to commence daily at 11:00 AM BST (10:00 AM UTC). This match holds additional significance as Lord's marks 50 years since Rachael Heyhoe Flint led out the first England women's team at the venue.

Beaumont's retirement will undoubtedly mark the end of an era for English women's cricket. Her remarkable achievements and impactful performances have inspired a generation, leaving behind a legacy that will be celebrated for years to come.
