Sophie Devine: New Zealand captain to retire from ODIs after World Cup

Advertisements

New Zealand captain Sophie Devine will retire from ODI cricket after the World Cup later this year.

The 35-year-old, who will skipper the side at the 50-over World Cup in India and Sri Lanka, will remain available for T20Is.

One of the finest all-rounders in world cricket, Devine is fourth on New Zealand’s all-time run-scorers list with 3,990, while she is one of only two players – alongside Lea Tahuhu – to have taken more than 100 wickets.

Appointed captain in 2020, Devine led the White Ferns to T20 World Cup glory against South Africa in 2024.

“It feels like the right time for me to start stepping away,” said Devine.
