Veteran England fast bowler Katherine Brunt said she felt she had let the country down after failing to win a medal at the Commonwealth Games.

“It felt like the actual whole country was behind us. We’re just sad we let them down. We couldn’t quite do it,” said Brunt, 37, who retired from Tests in June and has now hinted that she may retire from all international cricket.
