Recently retired New Zealand women’s wicketkeeper-batter Katey Martin revealed that suffering from a concussion in the last 12 months of her career played a part in her decision to call time on her career spanning 21 years. On May 18, Martin retired from all forms of cricket after being a part of the New Zealand team for 19 years. “I didn’t want to get a head knock and then have to deal with that again. I knew the time was right, but those little things add to it,” Martin was quoted as saying by stuff.co.nz. Martin, 39, believes that having players from developing nations compete alongside full nations cricketers will help grow women’s cricket globally.
