England cricketer Danielle Wyatt comes out as lesbian, announces getting engaged to partner

England women's cricket team star Danielle Wyatt announced her engagement with long-time partner Georgie Hodge.

The English batter took to social media and made the special announcement with a picture with her partner, as the pair was captured kissing while Hodge showed the ring.

Hodge is reportedly the head of women's football at the CAA base and an FA-licensed agent in London.

Danielle also had the caption "Mine Forever" in the post as she shared the special message with her followers and fans.

Danielle Wyatt, the 31-year-old has been a regular in the England women's team for a long time now. She has played 102 ODIs and 143 T20I matches for her country, and is regarded as one of the finest batters in the women's game. She has scored 1776 runs in the ODIs, while has amassed 2369 runs in the T20Is.

Many of her colleagues and fellow cricketers across the world congratulated her after the announcement.

India all-rounder Harleen Deol commented, "You Two", followed by a heart sign.

Another Indian player Veda Krishnamurthy tagged both Wyatt and her partner and congratulated the newly engaged couple.

Danielle Wyatt was incidentally involved in a Twitter proposal to Virat Kohli some years back. In 2014, she tweeted saying "Kholi marry me!!!" in one of her tweets and that tweet got viral and netizens had a good laugh after that.

The former Indian captain Virat Kohli is already married and has a happy family with his spouse Anushka Sharma. Danni Wyatt also has found her love. Congratulations!
