Long­stand­ing T&T and West In­dies Women’s crick­eter has re­tired from the sport. She is one of four West In­dies Women’s crick­eters to have called time on their ca­reers. The oth­ers are Shak­era Sel­man, Ky­cia Knight and Kyshona Knight Mo­hammed and Sel­man both served as vice-cap­tains dur­ing their 20- and 18-year ca­reers re­spec­tive­ly, all play­ers re­cent­ly com­mu­ni­cat­ed their de­ci­sions to Crick­et West In­dies (CWI).

Mo­hammed made her de­but for the West In­dies Women in 2003 at the age of 15 against Japan Women in an ICC Women’s Crick­et World Cup Qual­i­fi­er in the Nether­lands. Her last match was against Aus­tralia Women in the ICC Women’s Crick­et World Cup in March 2022.

She played 141 One Day In­ter­na­tion­als (ODIs) and 117 T20 In­ter­na­tion­als (T20Is). She took 180 ODI wick­ets, with a ca­reer best of 7-14 against Pak­istan. She took 125 T20I wick­ets and in 2016 she be­came the crick­eter (male or fe­male) to take 100 T20I wick­ets. She al­so has the dis­tinc­tion of be­ing the first West In­di­an bowler to take a hat-trick in a Women’s T20I. ​ She was a mem­ber of the West In­dies Women’s team which won the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup at Eden Gar­dens in Kolkata, In­dia in 2016.

Mo­hammed said: “The last 20 years have been tru­ly amaz­ing. I have en­joyed every sin­gle minute of it. The highs and the lows. I be­lieve the time has come for me to step away from the game and al­low the young play­ers to live their dreams as I have lived mine. I was priv­i­leged enough to step on­to the field wear­ing my ma­roon 258 times in my ca­reer.
