South African fast bowler Shabnim Ismail, who is credited with sending down the quickest delivery in women's cricket, announced her retirement from the international Cricket.
During the T20 World Cup semi-final against England in Cape Town in February she bowled a 128kmh (80mph) delivery - the fastest recorded in the women's game.
She ended her international career on a high when she was a member of the first South African team, men or women, to reach a World Cup final.
Ismail made her international debut as a teenager in 2007 and went on to appear in 241 international matches.
She took 191 wickets in 127 one-day internationals, second only to India's Jhulan Goswami, and took 123 wickets in T20 internationals to be fourth on the all-time list.
