Sarah Taylor, a former wicketkeeper and batter for England who stopped playing international cricket in 2019, told the world on Wednesday that her partner is pregnant. Taylor put a picture of herself and her partner on social media and wrote that it hadn’t been an easy journey.
“My partner’s dream has always been to become a mother. Diana has never given up on her journey, even though it hasn’t been easy. I’m so glad to be a part of it because I know she’ll be the best mom. Life will be very different in 19 weeks. I’m so happy for you, @dianamain_, “Taylor gave the post a caption.

Taylor said she was leaving international cricket in 2019, citing anxiety issues as her reason.
In 126 ODIs, she scored seven hundred and twenty half-centuries. In 90 T20Is, she scored 2,177 runs. She also played for England 10 times in the longest form of the game and got 330 runs.
The 33-year-old was a member of England’s 2017 World Cup-winning team.
Taylor thanked her teammates, friends, and the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) for helping her throughout her career when she told them she was leaving.
“This was a hard choice to make, but I know it’s the right one for me and my health in the future. I can’t thank my past and present teammates and the ECB enough for being friends and supporters along the way “Taylor’s message said.
