Surrey County Cricket Club: England international and Surrey left-arm seamer Tash Farrant has prematurely ended her professional cricket career at age 29 due to her inability to fully recover from a recurring back injury that has troubled her for years.

Farrant, who played for Surrey County Cricket Club and the Oval Invincibles in domestic competitions, has been managing the injury since it first appeared four years ago. The problem initially sidelined her for a full year and has consistently affected her ability to sustain the physical demands required in professional cricket.

Farrant displayed prodigious talent from a young age and was the youngest player on England's squad that won the Ashes during the 2013–14 Australia tour, marking her early debut for England women's cricket. She later became a consistent performer in domestic cricket, achieving significant success with the Southern Vipers by winning the Women’s Super League twice.
