Former England wicketkeeper Sarah Taylor is set to play professional cricket for the first time since 2019 after joining Welsh Fire for the new Hundred competition.
The 31-year-old scored 6,533 international runs for England and effected 232 dismissals.
She retired from international cricket because of anxiety but has since said she would “maybe” make a return.
“The temptation to be part of it was too great to resist,” Taylor said.
“I’m so excited at the prospect of playing again. It’ll be really special to get back out there.”
Taylor, widely regarded as one of the best wicketkeepers of all time, won two 50-over World Cups and one T20 World Cup during her 13-year international career.
Only Charlotte Edwards has scored more international runs for England than Taylor, who is the 10th all-time leading female run-scorer in one-day and Twenty20 cricket.
She coaches at a school in Eastbourne and recently joined her county club Sussex as a wicketkeeping coach.
Taylor will join multiple World Cup…
