Non-playing Role At London Spirit Role Does Not Signal End Of Playing Career, Says Heather Knight
ODI World Cup: Veteran England batter Heather Knight said her appointment as women’s General Manager at London Spirit should not be seen as a signal that she is preparing to end her playing career. Heather has missed two of the last four editions of The Hundred due to injury, including last year’s campaign when a hamstring tear forced her into a mentoring role during the team’s run to the title clash.
But Heather, who captained England to the 2017 Women’s ODI World Cup win, said representing England remains her priority, including in this year’s T20 World Cup happening on home soil. "I was injured a lot last year, and that gave me a little bit of time to think. As you get a little bit further in your career, you know that it's not going to last forever.
“I've loved my time playing in The Hundred, and being involved with the franchise as a player and as a coach, and it just felt like the right opportunity for me at this time of my career. It means that I can continue to play and still fulfil the playing ambitions that I've got," she was quoted as saying by ESPNCricinfo on Monday.
