Sophie Devine, the all-rounder for the New Zealand women’s cricket team, has set her eyes on winning the 50-over World Cup and revealed her retirement plans before returning to international cricket after a protracted hiatus due to mental health issues.
Sophie Devine is without a doubt one of the biggest stars in women’s cricket right now for New Zealand, having put up some amazing performances in both white ball and other formats. Devine last appeared at the T20 World Cup in the United Arab Emirates, when she captained the New Zealand women’s team to victory. Devine, who is scheduled to make her comeback in the series against Australia, has publicly stated that she had considered retiring due to her advanced age, but she is focused on savoring each moment of playing for the Kiwis.
“Totally truthful? Yes. Of course. I’m obviously not getting any younger, so it was only natural for them to come to mind when I had to work through some of those things. According to ESPNcricinfo, Sophie Devine told the media, “But for me, yeah, look, just really excited to be here, just going to be focusing on each day as it comes and just really enjoying every day with the White Ferns.”
“I’ve been playing cricket for a very long time, and I’m probably thinking about what I’ll do when the time comes to hang up the boots. Those opportunities, like the chance to play franchise cricket abroad and, most importantly, for the White Ferns, still really excite me. If all goes according to plan, I should be able to attend the World Cup later this year, Devine continued.
