Former England cricketer Sarah Taylor announced her partner Diana Main’s pregnancy February 22. Taylor took to Instagram and shared a couple of sonography images as well as a photograph of Diana alongside showing the pregnancy test. She further announced that the baby is expected after 19 weeks. 

"Being a mother has always been my partner's dream. The journey hasn't been an easy one but Diana has never given up. I know she will be the best mum and I'm so happy to be a part of it. 19 weeks to go and life will be very different! So proud of you," she captioned the post.

Sarah took 85 catches and also inflicted 51 stumpings with her swift handwork in the 126 ODIs, while she has 23 catches and 51 stumpings in 90 T20IsAfter establishing herself as one of the best wicketkeepers and most successful cricketers in the history of women’s cricket, Sarah bid adieu to the sport in September 2019 due to anxiety issues.
