All-rounder Amy Satterthwaite has retired from international cricket after missing out on a central contract with New Zealand Cricket (NZC).
Satterthwaite scored 4,639 runs in 145 one day internationals.
She also scored 1,784 runs and took 26 wickets for New Zealand in 111 Twenty20 matches.
“It has been a tough few days after learning of NZC’s decision to head in a new direction and contract some younger cricketers,” said Satterthwaite, 35.

Satterthwaite made her international debut in 2007 and captained her country in 2018 and 2019.
