Ellis Perry set to retire from international cricket after T20 World Cup final this week

  • Australia’s Ellyse Perry has said she will retire from international cricket after playing in the final of the Women’s T20 World Cup this week against England.
  • According to BBC Sport and The Independent, Australia’s captain has been ruled out of the match against England due to an unknown fitness issue, while Ellyse Perry has been ruled out of the match.
  • BBC Sport reports that Perry must have 185 runs to be able to reach 56 matches against West Indies at Lord’s, where the final will be played.

Ellyse Perry, who has played in the final of the Women’s T20 World Cup against England, says she will retire from international cricket after the match. She said the decision was supported by BBC Sport and The Independent.

BBC Sport notes that the 35-year-old Australian all-rounder had “quad awareness” while working on her fielding drills, and that she had been unable to fully complete the session due to a “quad awareness” issue at the time. According to BBC Sport, Ellyse Perry has been ruled out of the match against England and will not play.

The Independent also reports that Perry, who had “retired hurt” through a quad problem during the match, is expected to miss the remaining games. Her mother said she hopes Perry will not be ruled out for the rest of the tournament.

BBC Sport reports that Perry is expected to leave the field after 185 runs, and that she is expected to score 135.03, with an expected dot balls percentage of 30.9%. BBC Sport adds that in the three matches, Perry took wickets that included a four-wicket haul.

According to BBC Sport, Perry’s 56 wickets against West Indies at Lord’s — and a final total of 171 — could help her win the tournament. The Independent also says that the team’s captain — Australia’s Ellyse Perry — has an overall record of 50-over World Cup matches.

The Independent also says that the captain’s injury would require a recovery period of around 250,000 pounds, and that the match against England would be played without her.
